Abstract
The objective of this research was to investigate how ferulic and p-coumari
c acids affect lipid and fatty acid composition during canola (Brassica nap
us L.) seed germination. Data showed that both compounds increased total li
pid and fatty acid contents in the cotyledons during germination. The large
st accumulation in lipids occurred at 1.0 mM p-coumaric acid with an increa
se in all unsaturated fatty acids. The results suggest that allelochemicals
interfere in canola seed germination by reducing lipid mobilization.
