Why the mutant Arabidopsis with compromised seeds germination rate contains increased amount of insoluble tannin content?

09 June 2018 1 3K Report

I found from an literature that ft-1 mutant has reduced germination rate, while the insoluble tannin content in the seeds coat is high, so why is that?

Andrew Paul McKenzie Pegman

Tannin content is known to be correlated with low seed germination. For example, see:
