Different stages of phenol colour reaction showed induction of phenol colour reaction occur post anthesis, i.e. stage 2. In the later stages, i.e. stage 3 (dough) and 4 (harvest maturity) seeds showed similar phenol reaction with less intensity. Phenol content estimated at different stages of growth and maturity showed the highest at post fertilization stage, i.e. stage 2 and it decreased in stage third and fourth. Inter-panicle phenol content was not significantly different whereas intra-panicle difference in phenol content was observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
