The soluble sugars present in the maize (Zea mays L.) embryo may serve as important components of protection or may contribute to the deteriorative changes occurring during seed storage. Examination of the changes in sugars during accelerated aging of maize seeds indicates that the decline in vigor is associated with a marked decline in monosaccharides and in raffinose. Sucrose content remains relatively stable. The depletion of raffinose may have special relevance to the decline in seed vigor.
玉米(Zea mays L.)胚乳中存在的可溶性糖可能是保护的重要组成部分,或者有助于在种子储存过程中发生的恶化变化。检查玉米种子加速老化过程中的糖变化表明,活力下降与单糖和棉子糖的明显下降有关。蔗糖含量保持相对稳定。棉子糖的耗尽可能与种子活力的下降有特殊的关系。
