Lipid and phospholipid content of cotton leaves were measured in plants irrigated with fresh water and brackish water. The correlation between K + and Na + in leaf tissue and the changes in total lipids and phospholipids was determined at the vegetative and fruiting stages. Data demonstrated that total lipids and phospholipids can be associated with changes in the K/Na ratio and with the two developmental stages of the cotton plant. Plants irrigated with brackish water had more total phosphate incorporated into the phospholipids in the fruiting stage.
