Hi, I am working on the effect of heavy metals on a medicinal plant by pot experimentation. Analyzing the effect of heavy metals on secondary metabolites is one of the parameters. I will be harvesting the plant at the vegetative stage and not at the reproductive stage. However studies reveal that the secondary metabolite is highest in the seed. Would it make sense if I am checking for secondary metabolite production in other plants of the plant and not the seed? (Please note: The reproductive stage of the plant takes quite a lot of time and the aim of m work is just to study the effect of secondary metabolite production and not its enhancement). Kindly someone answer
