The objective of this research was to investigate how ferulic and p-coumaric acids affect lipid and fatty acid composition during canola (Brassica napus L.) seed germination. Data showed that both compounds increased total lipid and fatty acid contents in the cotyledons during germination. The largest accumulation in lipids occurred at 1.0 mM p-coumaric acid with an increase in all unsaturated fatty acids. The results suggest that allelochemicals interfere in canola seed germination by reducing lipid mobilization.

Keywords: allelopathy; Brassica napus L.; ferulic acid; lipid mobilization; p-coumaric acid
