| Résumé: | Copyright © 2018. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. Suaeda salsa is an annual euhalophytic herb that produces dimorphic seeds, such as small black seeds and big brown seeds. In the present study, the fatty acid composition, content of total phenols, flavonoids, carotenoid and inorganic ions in dimorphic seeds of the species collected in the field were measured. There was no significant difference in total oil content between black and brown seeds. Seed total oil content was approximately 19% based on dry weight. The most abundant fatty acid was linoleic acid, and the content was 76.3 and 70.5% of total fatty acids in black and brown seeds, respectively. Furthermore, the contents of total phenols, flavonoids, carotenoids and inorganic ions in brown seeds were higher than those in black seeds, which might be the mechanism of higher salt tolerance of brown seeds than black seeds. The ecological, physiological and genetic mechanisms of the different abilities of nutrition accumulation in black and brown seeds of S. salsa are also discussed and worthy to be investigated in the future |
