e0“The increase in ethanol production was observed when cabbage seeds were deteriorated by storage under ambient conditions or hot water treatments, both of which reduced the number of normal seedlings.”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Method / resource Running the ethanol assay at 40°C rather than 20°C shortened assay time.
- Method / resource Running the ethanol assay at 40°C rather than 20°C improved sensitivity.
- Association Ethanol production was inversely correlated with final germination percentage, germination speed and normal seedling number.
- Intervention effect Hot water deterioration increased cabbage seed ethanol production.
- Intervention effect Ambient storage deterioration reduced the number of normal cabbage seedlings.
- Intervention effect Hot water deterioration reduced the number of normal cabbage seedlings.
- Observation Premature seeds produced more ethanol upon imbibition than mature seeds.
- Observation Ethanol production and oxygen consumption occurred simultaneously upon seed imbibition.
- Mechanism The authors infer oxygen scarcity is not the main ethanol production trigger.
