Arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids in Araucariaceae, a unique feature among seed plants

Arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids in Araucariaceae, a unique feature among seed plants

It is generally admitted that seed plants (spermaphytes) are unable to synthesize either arachidonic or eicosapentaenoic acids (AA and EPA), the classic essential fatty acids in animals.
