Soybean seedlings were grown at 28°C under dark or light conditions for 12 days. Non-polar lipids (NPL) were separated by silicic acid column chromatography from total lipids in epicotyl containing young leaves, hypocotyl and root. The glyceride (TG, DG, and MG), free fatty acid (FFA) and sterol lipid (SE) components in NPL were analyzed mainly by thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatographies (TLC and GLC). During germination, the amounts of polar lipids (PL) markedly increased in the tissues of soybean seedlings, especially in light-grown seedlings, whereas these of NPL increased slightly or maintained constant values. The features of the compositions and changing patterns of NPL in the tissues were more clarified in light-grown seedlings than in dark-grown ones. The pattern of change in fatty acid composition was similar in TG and 1, 2-DG, which showed higher proportions of linoleic and linolenic acids, whereas FFA, 1, 3-DG or MG had high proportions of saturated fatty acids. These results indicate that the compositions and changing patterns of NPL and their fatty acids in the tissues depend on the differences under two germinating conditions tested.
