Investigation and comparison of fatty acids composition in different plant organs of Eremurus inderiensis (M.Bieb.) Regel %K Fatty acid profile %K Eremurus %K Iran %K medicinal plants %K Asphodelaceae %R %X Eremurus inderiensis (M.Bieb.) Regel belongs to the family Asphodelaceae and is distributed in parts of the West, Northwest, Center, and Northeast of Iran. Considering the importance of fatty acids as a group of important drug metabolites in plants, in this research, the profile of fatty acids of three organs (flower, leaf and seed) of E. inderiensis was investigated using GC–MS method. The results showed that the profile of fatty acids of this plant is relatively different among the analyzed organs. In each of the organs, we identified a relatively unique fatty acids profile. In the seeds, linoleic acid (68.03%), oleic acid (15.77%) and palmitic acid (8.85%) were the main fatty acids, but in flowers and leaves, fatty acids such as linolenic acid (30.55%, 31.80%), palmitic acid (27.92%, 23.64%) and linoleic acid (21.03%, 13.47%) were the main components, respectively. Overall, fatty acids profile of flowers and leaves were very similar compared with seeds. Due to the relatively high amounts of unsaturated fatty acids in the organs of this plant, especially the seeds and also the role of these compounds as essential fatty acids, it can be concluded that plant organs can be useful sources of these fatty acids, which would have different uses for medicinal and nutritional purposes. %U https://plant.ijbio.ir/article_1927_44813b69364eefb557b9424da3f87641.pdf
