Abstract
⺠GC-MS analysis of 25 steroids in Pisum sativum demonstrates dynamic sterol biosynthesis. ⺠Early stage embryos contain high sterol concentrations in comparison to other tissues. ⺠Isofucosterol levels are elevated while stigmasterol levels are low in young embryos. ⺠Coordinate transcript expression of sterol biosynthesis genes regulates sterol levels.
