Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association High oil seeds of Jatropha curcas showed a higher germination rate than low oil seeds.
- Association High oil seeds of Jatropha curcas showed a higher germination energy than low oil seeds.
- Intervention effect PEG treatment lowered the imbibition rate of Jatropha curcas seeds.
- Intervention effect PEG treatment lowered the germination rate of Jatropha curcas seeds, more strongly in low oil seeds.
- Intervention effect PEG treatment lowered the germination energy of Jatropha curcas seeds.
- Intervention effect PEG treatment lowered the germination index of Jatropha curcas seeds.
- Intervention effect PEG-treated Jatropha curcas seeds contain more unsaturated fatty acids than controls.
- Intervention effect PEG-treated Jatropha curcas seeds contain less saturated fatty acids than controls.
- Observation Seeds with different lipid levels differed in lipid composition only after PEG treatment.
- Mechanism Lipid content is suggested to contribute to seed germination and drought resistance of Jatropha curcas.
