Fusarium semitectum Berkeley and Ravenel and other nonpathogenic fungi appear to contaminate immature cottonseed but cannot express themselves until immediately after seed maturation. It is hypothesized that catechin prevents fungal outgrowth and that inhibition is released when catechin is polymerized during seed maturation.
镰刀菌属半端孢菌和 Berkeley 和 Ravenel 以及其他非病原真菌似乎会污染未成熟的棉籽,但直到种子成熟后才能表现出来。据推测,儿茶素可以防止真菌生长,而当儿茶素在种子成熟过程中聚合时,抑制作用就会释放出来。
