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 Ambient storage deterioration increased cabbage seed ethanol production.
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.

Other claims from this paper (7)

Observation PLMT was expressed across organs and localized to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Intervention effect PLMT overexpression increased phospholipids including PC.
Intervention effect PLMT overexpression affected vegetative but not reproductive growth.
Observation Siliques were shorter, whereas pollen remained viable and mature seeds were produced.
Observation Seed triacylglycerol content increased.
Observation Seed fatty acid composition was altered.
Mechanism The authors suggest PLMT may function in PC biosynthesis and have an organ-specific role in developing seeds.
