THE GERMINATION OF SEEDS OF MELILOTUS ALBA
The contents of coumarin and coumarinic acid β-glucoside in germinating seeds of Melilotus alba, Arctic variety, have been measured. Non-germinating seeds were found to possess a large amount of free coumarin while in rapidly germinating seeds coumarinic acid β-glucoside was more prevalent. Coumarin...
