Uptake of Seeds Secondary Metabolites by Virola surinamensis Seedlings

Table 1

Arithmetic mean of dry weight extracts and yields of V. surinamensis seeds.

Seeds*	Dry weight (mg)	Extract (mg)	Yield (%)
BG (n-hexane)	1030	310	30
AG (n-hexane)	290	81	28
BG (CH3OH)	950	180	19
AG (CH3OH)	270	46	17

BG: seeds before germination; AG: seeds after germination.
*Number of seeds used in each experiment = 7.
