A chemical examination has revealed four phenolic compounds in nonviable rice seeds ( Oryza sativa L.). Their inhibitory bioactivity in the wheat coleoptile extension bioassay and the absence of these components in viable seeds have confirmed the relation of the phenolics with nonviability of the seeds. The compounds isolated from nonviable rice seeds were Kaempferol‐4′‐methyl ether, Kaempferol, quercetin and caffeic acid as identified on the basis of physical and chemical evidences.
