No interactions between water stress and three phenolic acids (p-coumaric, caffeic and ferulic acids) on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. Grand Rapids) seed germination were found. Probit analysis indicated that mechanisms of action of water stress and the phenolic inhibitors were similar. The relative effectiveness of the compounds was p-coumaric > ferulic > caffeic. No interaction was found between p-coumaric and ferulic acid, whereas antagonism was found between caffeic acid and each of the other two phenolic acids.
