Abstract

Lipid depletion of berseem seed treated with 100 mg/I gibberellic acid or maleic hydrazide was studied during germination. During the first 3 days after germination there was little lipid consumption but thereafter the depletion of lipids was rapid. Gibberellic acid was found to enhance the lipid utilization of total lipids and triglyceride components during germination. On the other hand, maleic hydrazide reduced the utilization of triglycerides of the germinating seed. The rate of utilization was rapid for unsaturated fatty acids and slower for saturated ones in treated seeds as compared to untreated seeds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
