Effect of Temperature on the Short Chain Fatty Acid-induced Inhibition of Lettuce Seed Germination

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

In lettuce, Lactuca sativa short chain fatty acids (C6 - C9) vary in their effectiveness as inhibitors of germination according to temperature; the higher the temperature, the greater the inhibition. A linear relationship exists between temperature and the dose causing half-maximal germination. Nonanoic (C9) acid is the most effective.
