Ferulic acid was tested for its effect on the growth of root and shoot, fresh and dry weights, and hydrolytic enzyme activities of germinating maize seeds. The results showed that root growth was inhibited more than shoot growth. A significant reduction in the activities of hydrolytic enzymes was also observed, which reflects a mechanism of action for the natural growth inhibitors, which may include other phenolic compounds.
阿魏酸对萌发玉米种子的根和芽生长、鲜重和干重以及水解酶活性的影响进行了测试。结果表明，根的生长受到的抑制比芽的生长更明显。同时还观察到水解酶活性显著降低，这反映了天然生长抑制剂的作用机制，其中可能包括其他酚类化合物。
