Abstract

Aerobic methane (CH₄) emission from plant vegetative parts has been confirmed by many studies. However, the origin of aerobic CH₄from plants and its emission from reproductive parts have not been well documented. We determined the effects of developmental stages (early, mid, late) and incubation conditions (darkness, dim light, bright light) on CH₄ emissions from stinkweed (Thlaspi arvense) capsules. We found that CH₄ emissions from capsules varied with developmental stage and incubation light. Methane emission was highest for the late harvested capsules and for those incubated under lower (dim) light condition. Our results also showed a significant negative correlation between CH₄ emission and capsule moisture content. We conclude that CH₄ emissions vary with capsule age and diurnal light environment.
