| Abstract;The main fatty acids in monogalactosyldiacylglycerols (MGDG) of Anthoceros agrestis and Conocephalum conicum were 16:3.OMEGA.3 and 18:3.OMEGA.3 and they comprised 87% and 83%, respectively, of the total fatty acids of MGDG. The highly unsaturated C20 fatty acids were minor compounds making up 5% in both species. This result is a further indication that the acylation of MGDG with C20 Polyunsaturated fatty acids is dependent on the phylogenetic branching time of the different bryophyte taxa. Hornworts and liverworts with low proportion of C20 Polyenoates both represent an old taxon, while other bryophytes appear to contain C20 fatty acids in MGDG the more the later phylogenetic branching has occurred (Sewon 1992).
