Wpływ metanolu na siewki rzepaku ozimego [Effect of methanol on winter rape seedlings]

Abstract


Oil seed rape seedlings which had been treated with 10–30% methanol grew faster, their yield of fresh matter exceeded that of untreated control plants by 102%, of dry matter by 80%. Although methanol did not affect the content of chlorophyll or carotene in the leaves, the overall pigment yield grew with the dry matter of one seedling. The biomass of rape leaves which had been sprayed with 10 or 20% methanol solutions was by 50–90% higher as compared to untreated plants. The activity of some enzymes (nitrate reductase and alkaline phosphatase) also increased in methanol treated plants.
