Notes:
Acetone production at various stages of seed germination of a number of different species was analyzed by gas chromatography. In four agronomic species, the level of acetone production by the embryo axes had a strong positive correlation with the lipid content of the seeds, while in the embryos of three pine species the acetone level was much higher and did not show such a close correlation with lipid content. Acetone was produced only during germination and did not occur simply in response to imbibition of the seeds. Acetone production occurred predominantly in the embryos/embryo axes for the pines/angiosperms, respectively, and appeared at an early period during germination in which weight loss of the nutritive tissue was occurring at a rate greater than the growth of the embryos.
