Effect of Water Logging on Fatty Acid Composition in Cotton Seedling Roots

Saghir Ahmed Sheikh, Muhammad Ibrahim Keerio, Maqsood Anwar Rustamani and Mohammad Ashraf Mirjat

Fatty acid analysis in cotton seedlings following waterlogging showed changes in both their levels and relative composition. This treatment caused a marked increase in the amount of esterified fatty acids. Waterlogging also enhanced the synthesis of a set of low molecular weight compounds and suppressed the synthesis of all the “normal” fatty acids. A significant increase in free fatty acids was also observed.
