Abstract

Jatropha curcas L.seeds were scanned for their oil content by low field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance(NMR).It is shown that high oil(40%~45%) seeds exhibited higher germination rate (GR),germination energy(GE),and germination index(GI) than low oil(30%~35%) ones.PEG treatment lowered the imbibition rate,GR,GE,and GI of seeds,and the effect was more significant on low oil seeds.It is thus suggested that the lipid content has great contribution to seed germination and draught resistance.PCA of ~1H- NMR data showed that PEG-treated seeds contain more unsaturated and less saturated fatty acids and than control.Seeds with different lipid level showed distinction in their lipid composition only after PEG treatment.
