The respiration and fermentation rates were compared in germinating seeds of 12 different cultivated species from five families. In air, fermentation contributes significantly to the energy metabolism only in some species (pea, maize), but is generally negligible when compared to respiration. The fermentation rate under anoxia was related either to the metabolic activity under air or to the adenine nucleotide content of the seeds: it was generally higher in seeds which contain starchy reserves (rice, maize, sorghum, pea), than in seeds which do not contain starch (lettuce, sunflower, radish, turnip, cabbage, flax); however, it was similar in wheat, sorghum (starchy seeds), and soya (nonstarchy seeds). The value of the energy charge of all the seeds was lower under anoxia than in air: after 24 hours under anoxia, it was higher than 0.5 in the starchy seeds and in soya and it was around 0.25 in the other fatty seeds.
比较了来自五个科的 12 种不同栽培物种萌发种子的呼吸和发酵速率。在空气中，发酵仅在某些物种（豌豆、玉米）中对能量代谢有显著贡献，但与呼吸相比通常可以忽略不计。缺氧条件下的发酵速率与空气中的代谢活性或种子中腺嘌呤核苷酸含量有关：在含有淀粉储备的种子（水稻、玉米、高粱、豌豆）中，通常高于不含淀粉的种子（生菜、向日葵、萝卜、芜菁、白菜、亚麻）；然而，在小麦、高粱（含淀粉的种子）和大豆（非淀粉种子）中，它是相似的。所有种子的能量电荷值在缺氧下均低于空气中：缺氧 24 小时后，淀粉种子和大豆中的值高于 0.5，而其他含脂肪的种子则接近 0.25。
