Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Early in development, pea testa had more negative osmotic potential than embryo, endosperm or pod.
- Observation When liquid endosperm was present, pea embryo osmotic potential stayed more negative than endosperm.
- Association Wrinkled pea embryos had more water than round embryos for most of development.
- Association Wrinkled pea embryos had more negative osmotic potential than round embryos.
- Association More negative osmotic potential of wrinkled pea embryos correlated with greater water uptake in vivo.
- Intervention effect Cultured pea embryos of both genotypes grew maximally with 10 per cent sucrose.
- Observation Round cultured pea embryos gained more weight than wrinkled embryos at all sucrose concentrations.
- Observation Cultured wrinkled pea embryos had more negative osmotic potential than round ones.
