1. The galactolipids of heat-treated, 14C-labelled rye grass S24 administered intraruminally to a sheep fed on an autoclaved diet were rapidly catabolized.2. When grass was homogenized with rumen contents devoid of higher plant lipases the grass galactolipids were rapidly metabolized, but were not metabolized when the rumen contents were boiled to destroy microbial galactolipases.3. 14C-labelled monogalactosyldiglyceride, digalactosyldiglyceride and triolein were metabolized, with the release of 14C-labelled fatty acids when incubated with a homogenate (100 g/l) of grass or clover in rumen fluid from a starved sheep, but not when the rumen fluid was heat-treated to destroy microbial enzymes.4. It is concluded that in the sheep the lipases of rumen micro-organisms play a major part in the ruminal degradation of ingested complex lipids of pasture.

Methods have been developed for the extraction of abscisic acid (ABA) from plant tissues using water as the extracting solvent. Abnormally high levels of ABA were extracted with water at room temperature from some tissues. This was attributed to enzymic hydrolysis of conjugated forms of ABA. This problem was overcome by briefly boiling the plant tissue in water before homogenisation. Subsequent analysis of ABA was by combined gas chromatography/mass spectrometry using deuterium-labelled ABA as an internal standard but it is suggested that the method may be particularly suited to assay procedures based on immunological techniques where solvent residues may be undesirable.
