- Observation Fifteen different fatty acids were identified in seeds of the tree species.
- Observation Fatty acids were an important seed source of carbon and energy for most tree species.
- Observation Oleic, linoleic and linolenic tended to be the predominant unsaturated fatty acids across tree species.
- Observation Oleic acid was more than 60% of total fatty acids in seeds of Kielmeyera coriacea, Qualea dichotoma and Triplaris americana.
- Observation Linoleic acid was more than 50% of total fatty acids in seeds of Dalbergia miscolobium, Parkia platycephala and Ferdinandusa elliptica.
- Observation Palmitic and stearic acids were the dominant saturated fatty acids across tree species.
- Observation Lauric acid was 68% of total fatty acids in seeds of Qualea grandiflora.
- Association Fatty acid accumulation proceeded at a faster rate in anemochorous than in zoochorous species as seed mass increased.
- Association As seed mass increased, seeds became increasingly richer in saturated fatty acids.
- Observation Zoochorous species had seed triacylglycerols with a higher proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
