Notes:
Abstract Inhibitors from (Pinus pinea L.) seed coats were separated using paper chromatography, thin layer chromatography, and a Sephadex G-10 column. The inhibitory activity was resolved into several fractions. One of these behaved similarly to abscisic acid. It has exhibed the same properties as ABA in thin-layer chromatography, paper chromatography, and Sephadex G-10 chromatography and in UV absorption and fluorescence spectra. These germination inhibitors, present in the seed coats, are involved in the regulation of P. pinea seed germination.
