Phospholipids of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Himalaya) aleurone layers were labeled with myo-(2-{sup 3}H)inositol or ({sup 32}Pi), extracted, and analyzed by physical (chromatography) and chemical (deacylation) techniques. Three phospholipids were found to incorporate both myo-(2-{sup 3}H)inositol and ({sup 32}Pi)-phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol-monophosphate, and phosphatidylinositol-bisphosphate. Stimulation of ({sup 3}H)inositol prelabeled aleurone layers with GA{sub 3} showed enhanced incorporation of label into phosphatidylinositol within 30 seconds and subsequent rapid breakdown. Stimulation of phosphatidylinositol labeling observed in these studies is the earliest response of aleurone cells to gibberellic acid reported.
