Hexanal, which is biosynthesized in plants by the action of lipoxygenase and hydroperoxide lyase on linoleic acid, inhibited the germination and subsequent growth of soybean, Glycine max cv. Century. Hexanal, vaporized in air with a flow-through system (100 mL/min), was continuously delivered to germinating seeds. Only 0.9 .mu.g of hexanal/mL of air was required to inhibit seed germination by 50%; nearly 100% inhibition occurred with a dose of 1.8 .mu.g of hexanal/mL of air. In the absence of hexanal, fungal growth was usually present on the testa, but at sublethal doses of hexanal, the seedlings, including the residual testa, were largely devoid of fungal growth. The relative toxicities of hexanal and two other aldehydes formed as a result of lipoxygenase-hydroperoxide lyase action, trans-2-hexanal and trans-2-nonenal, were compared by a short time exposure in a Petri dish bioassay. The order of inhibition of growth was trans-2-hexanal > hexanal > trans-2-nonenal when germinating seeds were exposed to saturating vapors of the aldehydes. However, when the relative vapor pressure of the aldehydes was accounted for, the order of toxicity was calculated to be approximately trans-2-nonenal .gtoreq. trans-2-hexanal > hexanal.
