In our study of the role of abscisic acid (ABA) in controlling the germination of barley grains, we tested a barley mutant line with a gigantum appearance (Hordeum distichum cv Quantum) for an ABA-insensitive phenotype by assaying germination in the presence of 10-4 M ABA. Dissected embryos of the mutant germinated at least 10 h earlier than did those of the wild type. The half-maximal concentrations of ABA inhibitory for germination were determined to be 5 x 10-4 M for the mutant and 10-6 M for the wild type. Expression of an ABA-induced Rab gene was studied to determine ABA responsiveness. The ABA concentration required for a half-maximal induction of Rab gene expression was 4 x 10-6 M in isolated embryos of both the mutant and wild type. This result suggests that ABA signal transduction pathways were not affected in the mutant. When isolated embryos were allowed to imbibe in water, ABA was released from the mutant and wild-type embryos at the same rate. However, the free ABA level in the incubation medium of the mutant showed a much faster decrease than that of the wild type, as demonstrated by two independent ABA assay methods (high-performance liquid chromatography and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Our results suggest that turnover of ABA outside the embryo is a determining factor in the germination of barley seeds. 相似文献

The dynamics of dormancy release during the stratification of apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) seeds was quantitatively described by three characteristics of seeds germination: the percentage of seeds that germinated by the tenth day, mean germination time, and the sum of seeds germinated in each of ten days (Timson's parameter), which allowed the assessment of the viability, the rate of dormancy release, and seed heterogeneity. We showed that apple seeds were characterized by a combined (physical and physiological) type of dormancy, with the seed coat and the embryo envelope being involved in the maintenance of physical dormancy. The addition of sucrose to the stratification medium accelerated the release of seed dormancy and improved all characteristics that determine seed germinability. Electrolyte leakage from embryos hardly changed during stratification, which agrees with the fact that all seeds remained viable throughout the entire period of dormancy. We assume that the release of seed dormancy is not a single-stage process. 相似文献

A large number of weakly germinated hulled barley grains was found during archaeobotanical analyses from the early Celtic
settlement excavations at Eberdingen-Hochdorf in southwest Germany (ca. 600 – 400 BC). These grains seem to represent deliberate
germination, due to the purity of the find and its unusual archaeological context. The possibility of deliberate malting which
could be connected with beer brewing is discussed. Recent germination and charring experiments show that the consistently
weak traces of germination on the charred subfossil grains from Hochdorf are enough to indicate malted grains. A comparison
of the archaeobotanical remains with the written and archaeological sources shows that evidence of beer brewing from excavations
is very scarce. There is practically no clear proof of brewing, while written sources and indirect suggestions are abundant.
Neither archaeological finds nor either written or iconographic sources give exact details about the prehistoric brewing technology
of the early Celts. The archaeological finds from Hochdorf seem to be the result of deliberate malting of hulled barley for
the purpose of Celtic beer brewing. 相似文献

Summary
Bactris major and Desmoncus orthacanthos are native palms from the Yucatan Peninsula which could be used as substitutes for rattan. When their seeds were germinated
in vivo and in vitro they proved to be highly recalcitrant. Therefore, the culture of isolated embryos was studied as an alternative means of
producing planting material for nurseries. It was found that the in vitro germination of the isolated embryos was gradually reduced by storage, falling to zero by 5 wk. However, isolated embryos
from freshly collected seeds germinated at ∼100% frequency. The presence of the endosperm, whether still attached to the embryos
or separated from them but in direct contact with the nutrient medium, greatly reduced germination in both species. High concentrations
of abscisic acid (ABA, 100 μM) only slightly diminished it, suggesting a different cause for the observed endosperm-induced inhibition. This embryo rescue
method permits the production of sufficient plants for in vitro micropropagation and the establishment of experimental plots to evaluate the full potential of these materials. 相似文献

Seeds of Opuntia spp. have physiological dormancy; they need a period of after-ripening to break dormancy, and the embryos have low growth potential. We evaluated the combined effects of seed age and presence of fungi on the testa on germination of Opuntia streptacantha, an abundant species in the Chihuahuan Desert (Mexico), assuming that older seeds have broken seed dormancy and fungi can reduce mechanical resistance to germination. In a preliminary experiment, we found no germination of 9-year-old (1998) and freshly collected (2007) seeds. However, we obtained 67% and 27% germination from 9-year-old and fresh non-sterilized seeds, respectively, and found fungi growing on the testa of all germinated seeds. Two fungal strains were isolated and identified using ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence analysis: Penicillium chrysogenum and Phoma sp. In a second experiment, we inoculated seeds with strains of P. chrysogenum and Phoma sp., as well as Trichoderma koningii and binucleate Rhizoctonia (Gto17S2), to evaluate their ability to break seed dormancy. Seeds inoculated with P. chrysogenum, Phoma sp. and T. koningii had higher germination than controls for both seed ages, but germination was higher in older seeds. Scanning electron microscopy showed that these fungi eroded the funiculus, reducing its resistance. Binucleate Rhizoctonia did not lead to germination and controls had almost no germination. Our results strongly indicate that fungi are involved in breaking seed dormancy of O. streptacantha, and that the effect of fungi on seeds is species-specific. 相似文献

The research focused on the changes of phenolic compounds as well as their antiradical activity and reducing power isolated
from Amur grape (Vitis amurensis) seeds during germination under optimal conditions and under osmotic stress. The seeds were found to contain tannins, (+)
catechin, (−) epicatechin, and gallic acid (in free, ester- and glycoside-bound forms). Extracts from the seeds were also
shown to contain two other phenolic acids: caffeic and p-coumaric acids, in very low levels. During a 3-day seed germination test under osmotic stress (−0.5 MPa), the content of
total phenolics, tannins and phenolic acids declined as compared to the control. However, seed germination under stress conditions
led to a significant increase in the amount of catechins. Because catechin is the one of the units in condensed tannins, its
dynamic increase during seed germination may be involved in metabolism of tannins under osmotic stress. It is also likely
that the synthesis of catechins is greater under stress conditions and these compounds may be engaged in the process of acclimatization
of grapevines to stress conditions. The content of total phenolic compounds in seed extracts is positively correlated with
their antioxidant properties. The extracts from seeds germinated under optimal conditions exhibited strong antiradical properties
against the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical as well as reducing power. As regards the extracts from grape seeds
germinated under osmotic stress, this capability was much weaker. The research demonstrated that antioxidants could interfere
with the oxidation process induced by various stresses by acting as oxygen scavengers, therefore the tolerance to drought
stress might be correlated with an increase in the antioxidant potential. 相似文献

Summary An in vitro culture system has been developed for barley (Hordeum vulgare), which yields high frequencies of high quality microspore-derived embryos without an intervening callus phase. The embryos are very similar to zygotic embryos with regard to their morphology and germination capacity. These embryos were encapsulated in sodium alginate to produce individual beads containing one embryo each. In accordance with the literature, these beads are denoted artificial seeds. The artificial seeds germinated well and with a root system superior to that of non-encapsulated embryos. The artificial seeds also maintained their germination capacity for at least 6 months, whereas non-encapsulated embryos did not survive more than 2 weeks in storage. Artificial seeds, thus, probably provide a simple and universal delivery system of in vitro plantlets to greenhouse or field. 相似文献

Tillandsia recurvata is an epiphytic bromeliad with a wide distribution in the Americas; however, little is known about the development of its post-seminal adaptations for survival in epiphytic environments. The purpose of this study was to define the temperature and water requirements for the germination of T. recurvata seeds. The absence of radicle emergence in T. recurvata seeds resulted in 2?stages of germination: swollen with broken seed coat (stage-1) and chlorophyllic embryos (stage-2). The effects of partial or discontinuous hydration on germinated seed survival were also assessed. The seeds were collected in a semi-arid shrubland of Mexico City. We explored: (1) whether water vapour can provide a sufficient water source for germination; (2) the temperature required for germination stage-1 and the optimal and critical osmotic potentials for germination in both germination stages; (3) the effect of seed incubation at different osmotic potentials that undergo subsequent dehydration on their survival in stage-2; and (4) the loss of dehydration tolerance during early post-seminal development. In addition, an image of T. recurvata seed anatomy was obtained to illustrate its structures. Germination stage-1 of T. recurvata seeds is rather similar across the tested temperature range. The seeds required to be in contact with liquid water to germinate. The interval of osmotic potential facilitating both germination stages was from 0 to ?0.6?MPa. Although germinated seeds displayed dehydration tolerance, this tolerance decreased in germination stage-2. The osmotic potential during germination affected the tolerance of the chlorophyllic embryos (stage-2) to subsequent dehydration. 相似文献

Sprouts are a source of secondary metabolites as phenolic compounds. Germination and the use of solvents can affect their content. The aim of this work was to identify the total content of phenols and flavonoids in ungerminated and germinated (3, 5, and 7 days) Esmeralda and Perla barley. Different solvents (water, 50 % acetone, 80 % methanol, 80 % ethanol) were used to recover total phenols and flavonoids. The 7-day germination proved to be ideal for total phenol and flavonoid obtention from Esmeralda barley and the highest total phenol and flavonoid content in Perla variety was observed at 5 and 7 days of germination, respectively. Methanol and ethanol (80 %) yielded the highest extraction percentage of total phenols; 50 % acetone recovered the highest flavonoid concentrations in Esmeralda barley and 80 % methanol in Perla barley. The highest total phenol concentration was obtained from Perla samples at 13.60 mg GAE/g, and the highest total flavonoids were observed in Esmeralda barley at 1.73 mg QE/g. A high correlation was found between the concentration of phenols (0.995) and total flavonoids (0.780) with the radicle size in the Esmeralda samples. 相似文献

Summary The lengthy dormancy requirement of yew seeds can be overcome with a simple in vitro method. Viable embryos were excised from
seeds ofTaxus brevifolia and four cultivars ofT. media over a range of developmental stages. Embryos were cultured in several basal media formulations (Whites’, Gamborg’s B5 and
Murashige and Skoog’s) under dark or light. After a lag period of 1 to 2 wk, embryos of both species germinated precociously.
Germination rates of up to 70% were obtained withT. media cv. Hicksi embryos. The highest rates of germination were obtained in White’s and MS media. Embryos excised from green seeds
with undeveloped arils showed the highest germination rates. As the seeds approached maturity, in vitro germination rates
of the excised embryos declined dramatically. Green seeds and seeds with developing arils could be stored at 5° C without
large loss in embryo germination. Seeds with fully developed arils could be stored frozen at −20° C for 1 wk while still allowing
about 50% of embryo germination. At least 30% of the precociously germinated embryos of both species were able to develop
into full seedlings. Our method appears to be generally applicable toTaxus spp.

The architecture of endosperm cell walls in Hordeum vulgare (barley) differs remarkably from that of other grass species and is affected by germination or malting. Here, the cell wall microstructure is investigated using (bio)chemical analyses, cryogenic scanning electron microscopy (cryo‐SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) as the main techniques. The relative proportions of β‐glucan, arabinoxylan and pectin in cell walls were 61, 34 and 5%, respectively. The average thickness of a single endosperm cell wall was 0.30 µm, as estimated by the cryo‐SEM analysis of barley seeds, which was reduced to 0.16 µm after malting. After fluorescent staining, 3D confocal multiphoton microscopy (multiphoton CLSM) imaging revealed the complex cell wall architecture. The endosperm cell wall is composed of a structure in which arabinoxylan and pectin are colocalized on the outside, with β‐glucan depositions on the inside. During germination, arabinoxylan and β‐glucan are hydrolysed, but unlike β‐glucan, arabinoxylan remains present in defined cell walls in malt. Integrating the results, an enhanced model for the endosperm cell walls in barley is proposed. 相似文献

Fusarium infection of barley and malt can cause severe problems in the malting and brewing industry. In addition to being potential
mycotoxin producers, Fusarium fungi are known to cause beer gushing (spontaneous overfoaming of beer). Cereal-derived bacteria and yeasts are potential
biocontrol agents. In this study, the antifungal potential of selected yeasts (12 strains) derived from the industrial malting
ecosystem was studied in vitro with a plate-screening assay. Several ascomycetous yeast strains showed antagonistic activity
against field and storage moulds, Pichia anomala being the most effective strain. The effects of P. anomala VTT C-04565 (C565) were examined in laboratory scale malting with naturally contaminated barley exhibiting gushing potential.
P. anomala C565 restricted Fusarium growth and hydrophobin production during malting and prevented beer gushing. Grain germination was not disturbed by the presence
of yeast. Addition of P. anomala C565 into the steeping seemed to retard wort filtration, but the filtration performance was recovered when yeast culture
was combined with Lactobacillus plantarum VTT E-78076. Well-characterized microbial cultures could be used as food-grade biocontrol agents and they offer a natural
tool for tailoring of malt properties. 相似文献

Malted barley is a major raw material of beer, as well as distilled spirits and several food products. The production of malt
(malting) exploits the biochemical reactions of a natural process, grain germination. In addition to germinating grain, the
malting process includes another metabolically active component: a diverse microbial community that includes various types
of bacteria and fungi. Therefore, malting can be considered as a complex ecosystem involving two metabolically active groups.
Yeasts and yeast-like fungi are an important part of this ecosystem, but previously the significance of yeasts in malting
has been largely underestimated. Characterization and identification of yeasts in industrial processes revealed 25 ascomycetous
yeasts belonging to 10 genera, and 18 basidiomycetous yeasts belonging to 7 genera. In addition, two ascomycetous yeast-like
fungi belonging to the genera Aureobasidium and Exophiala were commonly detected. Yeasts and yeast-like fungi produced extracellular hydrolytic enzymes with a potentially positive
contribution to the malt enzyme spectrum. Several ascomycetous yeast strains showed strong antagonistic activity against field
and storage moulds, Wickerhamomyces anomalus (synonym Pichia anomala) being the most effective species. Malting studies revealed that W. anomalus VTT C-04565 effectively restricted Fusarium growth and hydrophobin production during malting and prevented beer gushing. In order to broaden the antimicrobial spectrum
and to improve malt brewhouse performance, W. anomalus could be combined with other starter cultures such as Lactobacillus plantarum. Well-characterized microbial mixtures consisting of barley and malt-derived microbes open up several possibilities to improve
malt properties and to ensure the safety of the malting process. 相似文献

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seeds were soaked in aqueous 10−4 M dihydroquercetin (DHQ) to examine its influence on seed germination and further growth of seedlings under optimal soil
watering and flooding conditions. The adaptive potential of the plants was estimated by the content of thiobarbituric acid
reactive substances (TBARs) and the activity of ascorbate peroxidase (AsP). High-grade seeds were germinated evenly under
(−DHQ)- and (+DHQ)-treatments. Low-grade seeds soaked in DHQ, showed no mold and twofold germination rate in comparison with
the same seeds soaked in water. The seedlings grown from the similarly germinated seeds did not differ from each other in
the shoot growth, independent of the DHQ-pretreatment. The root growth was higher in DHQ-pretreated plants. Soil flooding
suppressed the shoot and root growth rates in non-pretreated and DHQ-pretreated plants, however TBARs content was lower in
the roots and leaves of (+DHQ)-seedlings as compared to the (−DHQ)-ones. The activity of AsP increased more significantly
in the (+DHQ)-plants. The ratio between TBARs content and the AsP activity was lower in the leaves of (+DHQ)-plants both under
optimal soil conditions and flooding. Thus, the treatment of low-grade barley seeds with DHQ protects the seeds against mold
and increases adaptive potential of the seedlings. 相似文献
