Summary A mixture of gluconic acid and two unidentified organic acids, isolated from the culture filtrate ofFusarium culmorum, grown in glucose-limited continuous culture, were found to be highly toxic to growth of barley seedlings. A concentration of 900 g ml–1 of the acid totally inhibited germination of barley seeds, with lower concentrations greatly inhibiting growth and development of germinated seeds. Root extension and root-hair production were inhibited at a concentration of 450 g ml–1 of the acids, but the number of roots per seedling was increased. Toxicity of the acids was promoted at low pH. 相似文献

Micropropagation of Endangered Species Daphne cneorum 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A new protocol for micropropagation of endangered Daphne cneorum through multiple shoot formation has been developed. Two different types of explants (dormant apical buds and in vitro seed-derived young seedlings) from plants in two different localities were used for the initiation of multiple shoots on agar woody plant medium (WPM) with 0.2 mg dm–3 benzylaminopurine (BAP), 0.1 mg dm–3-indolebutyric acid (IBA), 200 mg dm–3 glutamine, and 200 mg dm–3 casein hydrolysate. From 10 seeds only one germinated and the multi-apex culture bearing 12 shoots sprouted out from in vitro seed-derived young seedling. After 6-month cultivation 35 multi-apex cultures were achieved from in vitro seed-derived young seedling. On 1/3 strength WPM medium supplemented with 2.83 mg dm–3 IBA 50 % of cultures (clusters of 3 – 5 shoots) rooted but no rooting occurred in the presence of -naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The rooted plantlets were acclimatized for 4 weeks in the greenhouse and then transferred into natural conditions. The plants successfully survived the winter and flowered. 相似文献

Seeds of Citrus reticulata were germinated efficiently when they were sown directly after their extraction from fruits harvested in January, and incubated
at constant temperature (25 °C). Seed drying decreased both the percentage of seed germination and the number of seedling
per seed. Germination of seeds was better on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.5 mg dm−3 benzylaminopurine (BAP) than in a soil. Shoot cuttings obtained from germinated seeds were subcultured on B5 medium supplemented
with 1 mg dm−3 BAP, 0.5 mg dm−3 kinetin (KIN) and 0.5 mg dm−3 naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), where shoots grew and multiplied. They were rooted on half strength MS medium supplemented
with 0.25 mg dm−3 BAP, 0.5 mg dm−3 NAA and 1 mg dm−3 isobutyric acid (IBA). Rooting under light was better than under dark. Seedlings and shoot cuttings with roots were transferred
successfully to the soil after three weeks of acclimatization.

Instances of flowering of bamboo species Dendrocalamus strictus are few and far between which are taken as opportunity by nurserymen to collect seeds for propagation. Germination of seeds is reported to be poor. Therefore, different seed priming treatments were applied to D. strictus seeds collected from Ranchi in order to obtain uniform and high germination. Under laboratory conditions, dehusking of seeds before sowing ensured cent percent germination. Seed priming with KNO3 1% solution resulted in 80.4% increase in germination followed by hydropriming by 16 h (73.1% increase). In field conditions, dehusked seeds gave 23.0% germination without any priming treatment. Priming treatment with KNO3 1% gave the highest rise in germination (39.1%) followed by hydropriming for 16 h (26.1%). Seeds with their seed coats intact could give germination of 9.5% when germinated without any treatment. A rise of 115.8% in germination was obtained by priming with KNO3 1% (final germination count 20.5%). The next best treatment was hydropriming for 16 h (final germination 18.5%, a rise of 94.7%). KNO3 1% also induced the earliest and the most rapid germination. When seedlings germinated in laboratory were transferred to soil, all seedlings from all treatments established successfully without any mortality whatsoever. Therefore, it is recommended that seeds should be primed for 8 h with 1% KNO3 and germinated in laboratory or in farm house under normal atmospheric condition before transplanting the seedlings to soil. 相似文献

Two barley cultivars (Hordeum vulgare L., cvs. Elo and Belogorskii) differing in salt tolerance were used to study 22Na+ uptake, expression of three isoforms of the Na+/H+ antiporter HvNHX1-3, and the cellular localization of these isoforms in the elongation zone of seedling roots. During short
(1 h) incubation, seedling roots of both cultivars accumulated approximately equal quantities of 22Na+. However, after 24-h incubation the content of 22Na+ in roots of a salt-tolerant variety Elo was 40% lower than in roots of the susceptible variety Belogorskii. The content of
22Na+ accumulated in shoots of cv. Elo after 24-h incubation was 6.5 times lower than in shoots of cv. Belogorskii and it was 4
times lower after the salt stress treatment. The cytochemical examination revealed that three proteins HvNHX1-3 are co-localized
in the same cells of almost all root tissues; these proteins were present in the tonoplast and prevacuolar vesicles. Western
blot analysis of HvNHX1-3 has shown that the content of isoforms in vacuolar membranes increased in response to salt stress
in seedling roots and shoots of both cultivars, although the increase was more pronounced in the tolerant cultivar. The content
of HvNHX1 in the seedlings increased in parallel with the enhanced expression of HvNHX1, whereas the increase in HvNHX2 and HvNHX3 protein content was accompanied by only slight changes in expression of respective
genes. The results provide evidence that salt tolerance of barley depends on plant ability to restrict Na+ transport from the root to the shoot and relies on regulatory pathways of HvNHX1-3 expression in roots and shoots during
salt stress. 相似文献

Background
The responses of plant seeds and seedlings to changing atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition and precipitation regimes determine plant population dynamics and community composition under global change.Methodology/Principal Findings
In a temperate steppe in northern China, seeds of P. tanacetifolia were collected from a field-based experiment with N addition and increased precipitation to measure changes in their traits (production, mass, germination). Seedlings germinated from those seeds were grown in a greenhouse to examine the effects of improved N and water availability in maternal and offspring environments on seedling growth. Maternal N-addition stimulated seed production, but it suppressed seed mass, germination rate and seedling biomass of P. tanacetifolia. Maternal N-addition also enhanced responses of seedlings to N and water addition in the offspring environment. Maternal increased-precipitation stimulated seed production, but it had no effect on seed mass and germination rate. Maternal increased-precipitation enhanced seedling growth when grown under similar conditions, whereas seedling responses to offspring N- and water-addition were suppressed by maternal increased-precipitation. Both offspring N-addition and increased-precipitation stimulated growth of seedlings germinated from seeds collected from the maternal control environment without either N or water addition. Our observations indicate that both maternal and offspring environments can influence seedling growth of P. tanacetifolia with consequent impacts on the future population dynamics of this species in the study area.Conclusion/Significance
The findings highlight the importance of the maternal effects on seed and seedling production as well as responses of offspring to changing environmental drivers in mechanistic understanding and projecting of plant population dynamics under global change. 相似文献7.
The effects of salinity and osmotic stress on barley germination rate: sodium as an osmotic regulator 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Background and Aims
Seed germination is negatively affected by salinity, which is thought to be due to both osmotic and ion-toxicity effects. We hypothesize that salt is absorbed by seeds, allowing them to generate additional osmotic potential, and to germinate in conditions under which they would otherwise not be able to germinate.Methods
Seeds of barley, Hordeum vulgare, were germinated in the presence of either pure water or one of five iso-osmotic solutions of polyethylene-glycol (PEG) or NaCl at 5, 12, 20 or 27 °C. Germination time courses were recorded and germination indices were calculated. Dry mass, water content and sodium concentration of germinating and non-germinating seeds in the NaCl treatments at 12 °C were measured. Fifty supplemental seeds were used to evaluate the changes in seed properties with time.Key Results
Seeds incubated in saline conditions were able to germinate at lower osmotic potentials than those incubated in iso-osmotic PEG solutions and generally germinated faster. A positive correlation existed between external salinity and seed salt content in the saline-incubated seeds. Water content and sodium concentration increased with time for seeds incubated in NaCl. At higher temperatures, germination percentage and dry mass decreased whereas germination index and sodium concentration increased.Conclusions
The results suggest that barley seeds can take up sodium, allowing them to generate additional osmotic potential, absorb more water and germinate more rapidly in environments of lower water potential. This may have ecological implications, allowing halophytic species and varieties to out-compete glycophytes in saline soils. 相似文献8.

Pitiúba cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] seeds were germinated in distilled water (control treatment) or in 100 mM NaCl solution (salt treatment), and
RNase was purified from different parts of the seedlings. Seedling growth was reduced by the NaCl treatment. RNase activity
was low in cotyledons of quiescent seeds, but the enzyme was activated during germination and seedling establishment. Salinity
reduced cotyledon RNase activity, and this effect appeared to be due to a delay in its activation. The RNases from roots,
stems, and leaves were immunologically identical to that found in cotyledons. Partially purified RNase fractions from the
different parts of the seedling showed some activity with DNA as substrate. However, this DNA hydrolyzing activity was much
lower than that of RNA hydrolyzing activity. The DNA hydrolyzing activity was strongly inhibited by Cu2+, Hg2+, and Zn2+ ions, stimulated by MgCl2, and slowly inhibited by EDTA. This activity from the most purified fraction was inhibited by increasing concentrations of
RNA in the reaction medium. It is suggested that the major biological role of this cotyledon RNase would be to hydrolyze seed
storage RNA during germination and seedling establishment, and it was discussed that it might have a protective role against
abiotic stress during later part of seedling establishment. 相似文献

Background and Aims
Most studies on seed position-dependent effects have focused on germination characteristics. Our aim was to determine the effects of seed position in the spikelet on differences in timing of germination and on the ecological life history of the grass Eremopyrum distans in its cold desert habitat.Methods
For seeds in three spikelet positions, morphology, mass and dormancy/germination characteristics were determined in the laboratory, and seeds planted in field plots with and without watering were followed to reproduction to investigate seedling emergence and survival, plant size and seed production.Key Results
After maturation, of the seeds within the spikelet, basal ones (group 1) are the largest and have the highest proportion with physiological dormancy, while distal ones (group 3) are the smallest and have the highest proportion of non-dormant seeds. A higher percentage of seeds after-ripened in groups 2 and 3 than in group 1. Seeds sown in the field in early summer and watered at short, regular intervals germinated primarily in autumn, while those under natural soil moisture conditions germinated only in spring. Both cohorts completed their life cycle in early summer. Seeds in group 1 had lower percentages of seedling emergence and higher percentages of seedling survival than those in groups 2 and 3. Also, plants from group 1 seeds were larger and produced more seeds per plant than those from groups 2 and 3.Conclusions
Seed position-dependent mass was associated with quantitative differences in several life history traits of E. distans. The environmentally enforced (low soil moisture) delay of germination from autumn to spring results in a reduction in fitness via reduction in number of seeds produced per plant. 相似文献10.

Two chickpea cultivars PBG-1 and PDG-3 along with a wild species Cicer judaicum were investigated to compare the activities of their antioxidant enzymes in mature seeds and roots, as well as shoots and
cotyledons of seedlings germinated under dark and continuous illumination of 40 μmol m−2 s−1 photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Seedling biomass of C. judaicum was lower as compared to cultivars of PBG-1 and PDG-3 both under dark and light conditions. Light reduced the biomass of
seedlings. Activities of glutathione reductase (GR) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) were higher in shoots and roots of C. judaicum compared to the cultivars PBG-1 and PDG-3. In mature seeds, the activities of GR and APX were higher in the cultivated genotypes
whereas catalase (CAT) and peroxidase were higher in C. judaicum. Under illumination, a general upregulation of CAT in both shoots and cotyledons and of GR in shoots was observed in all
the three genotypes. However, superoxide dismutase (SOD) increased in C. judaicum and APX in PBG-1 and PDG-3. The differences in antioxidant enzyme system between wild and cultivated genotypes possibly contribute
to better tolerance of wild Cicer species against abiotic and biotic stresses. 相似文献

Premise
In 1879, Dr. William Beal buried 20 glass bottles filled with seeds and sand at a single site at Michigan State University. The goal of the experiment was to understand seed longevity in the soil, a topic of general importance in ecology, restoration, conservation, and agriculture, by periodically assaying germinability of these seeds over 100 years. The interval between germination assays has been extended and the experiment will now end after 221 years, in 2100.Methods
We dug up the 16th bottle in April 2021 and attempted to germinate the 141-year-old seeds it contained. We grew germinants to maturity and identified these to species by vegetative and reproductive phenotypes. For the first time in the history of this experiment, genomic DNA was sequenced to confirm species identities.Results
Twenty seeds germinated over the 244-day assay. Eight germinated in the first 11 days. All 20 belonged to the Verbascum genus: Nineteen were V. blattaria according to phenotype and ITS2 genotype; and one had a hybrid V. blattaria × V. thapsus phenotype and ITS2 genotype. In total, 20/50 (40%) of the original Verbascum seeds in the bottle germinated in year 141.Conclusions
While most species in the Beal experiment lost all seed viability in the first 60 years, a high percentage of Verbascum seeds can still germinate after 141 years in the soil. Long-term experiments such as this one are rare and invaluable for studying seed viability in natural soil conditions. 相似文献12.
Two experiments were conducted to determine how a period of exposure to 0 oC, between two periods of imbibition at 20 oC, affected radicle development and the uniformity of seedling emergence. In both experiments cold treatments, given 12 h after seed imbibition began, produced shorter radicles than those given at 0, 4, 8, 16 and 20 h. Increasing the duration of exposure to 0 oC gave longer radicles and reduced the spread of seedling emergence. It is concluded that lettuce seeds are particularly sensitive to a temperature change about 12 h after seed imbibition starts. 相似文献

Light quality influences germination, root growth and hypocotyl elongation in somatic embryos but not in seedlings of norway spruce 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Summary We studied how light from different light sources influences germination and postgerminative growth of plants from somatic
embryos and seeds of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst). Somatic embryos of three spruce genotypes and seeds were subjected to light from commercially available light
sources: Philips TLD Blue 18W/18 (BL), Osram Fluora (FL), Philips Cool White TL 50W/33 (CW), Osram Warm White 18W/30 (WW),
Philips Yellow 36W/16 (YE) and Philips TLD Red 36W/15 (RE), 18 h a day, with a photon flux (PAR) at 30 μmol m−2 s−1. After 6 wk the germination frequencies of the somatic embryo-derived plantlets were 50% under BL and 98% under RE. The corresponding
mean root lengths were 6.7 and 15.4 mm. In somatic embryo-derived plantlets cultured under BL, FL, CW and WW, both roots and
hypocotyls turned brown, presumably due to production of phenolic substances. Browning was less severe in somatic embryo-derived
plantlets cultured under RE and YE. Under RE, the epicotyl elongated in 37% of the plantlets after 6 wk, compared with 70%
under the other light sources. Seed germination and postgerminative seedling growth was modestly influenced by light from
these light sources. RE and WW initially delayed germination as compared with BL, FL and CW, but after 2 wk, more than 90%
of the seeds had germinated under all light sources. In conclusion, germination and postgerminative growth of somatic embryos
of spruce is sensitive to differences in light quality, whereas seed germination and seedling growth is not. 相似文献

Seeds of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and mung bean (Vigna radiata(L.) Wilczek), with orthodox seed storage behaviour, were imbibedfor between 8 h and 96 h at 15 °C and 25 °C, respectively,while barley seeds were also maintained in moist aerated storageat 15 °C for 14 d. These seeds and seedlings, together withcontrols, were then dried to various moisture contents between3% and 16% (wet basis) and hermetically stored for six monthsat 20°C, 0°C or 15°C. In both species, neitherdesiccation nor subsequent hermetic storage of the control lotsresulted in loss in viability. The results for barley seedsimbibed for 24 h were similar to the control, but desiccationsensitivity increased progressively with duration of imbibitionbeyond 24 h in barley or 8 h in mung bean; these treatmentsalso reduced the longevity of the surviving seeds in air-drystorage. Loss in viability in barley imbibed for 48 h was mostrapid at the two extreme seed storage moisture contents of 3·6%and 14·3%, and in both these cases was more rapid at15 °C than at cooler temperatures. Similarly, for mung beanimbibed for 8 h, loss in viability was most rapid at the lowest(4·3%) moisture content, but in this case it was morerapid at 20 °C than at warmer temperatures. Thus,these results for the storage of previously imbibed orthodoxseeds conform with the main features of intermediate seed storagebehaviour Key words: Barley, Hordeum vulgare L., mung bean, Vigna radiata (L.)

The effect of phosphorus (P) concentration in barley seed on seedling growth has not been much investigated. Consequently,
two experiments were conducted in the greenhouse to determine the effect of P concentration in barley seed (Hordeum vulgare L., cv. Empress) on the seedlings grown in sand-filled boxes receiving a culture solution without P. Seeds were selected
with three P concentrations: high-P (113.0 mmol P kg−1), medium-P (80.7 mmol P kg−1) and low-P (54.9 mmol P kg−1). At 21 days after sowing, the shoot and root yield or shoot height was the least with seedlings from low-P seed. In the
other experiment, high-P and low-P seeds were wetted with distilled water or with a solution of 25.8 cmol L−1 of NaH2PO4 for 24 h, and then grown for 31 days. Solution P had been imbibed by seeds whether low or high in native P, but only the
imbibed P held by low native P seed benefited seedling dry matter accumulation and shoot elongation. The lack of benefit from
seed-imbibed P on seedlings grown from high-P barley seed was associated with low recovery of the imbibed P in those seedlings. 相似文献

The moisture content of newly-germinated Brussels sprout seeds (radicles 1 ± 0·5 mm long) was reduced to 16% without loss of viability when compared with untreated newly-germinated seeds. Seedling emergence and growth from these low-moisture-content germinated (LMCG) seeds and ungerminated seeds were compared in cellular trays and seedbeds. A greater number of seedlings emerged more uniformly and more rapidly from LMCG seeds than from ungerminated dry seeds, leading to larger, more uniform seedlings for subsequent transplanting. Post-germination separation in sucrose solutions before drying resulted in a seed batch with 98% of germinated seeds. As there was a positive relationship between the rate of germination and subsequent seedling growth, it is suggested that germinated-seed separation techniques could be used to select the most vigorous seedlings. 相似文献

Summary Well-developed somatic embryos were selected from a repetivively somatic embryo line derived from embryonic axes of immature
zygotic embryos of English walnut ‘No. 120’ (Juglans regia L.) for germination and conversion studies. In germinating dishes, somatic embryos germinated into only shoots, only roots,
or both shoots and roots. Without any pretreatment, 28% somatic embryos germinated, while those treated with 2.5–5.0 mg 1−1 (7.2–14.4 μmol) gibberellic acid (GA3) germinated at 25–28% and those receiving a cold treatment of 2–3 mo. at 3–4°C germinated at 30–43%. However, only 4–19%
of the germinating embryos showed both shoots and roots. Treated with desiccation, either with CaCl2·6H2O or Ca(NO3)2·4H2O at 20°C in the dark for 3 d, somatic embryos germinated at 85–91%, 57–69% of which had both shoots and roots. Treatment
with 2 mo. cold storage in combination with desiccation using Ca(NO3)2·4H2O resulted in 92% of somatic embryos germinating, 70% of which showed both shoots and roots. No significant differences were
observed between solid and liquid germination media. After transferring the germinating embryos to plantlet development media,
52–63% of those with both shoots and roots developed into plantlets while 11% with only shoots or 9% with only roots converted
into plantlets. Plantlet development was improved by using lower medium salts and sucrose concentrations. The addition of
activated charcoal enhanced root development, particularly root branching. Of 131 plants transplanted, 91 plants were acclimatized
to a greenhouse. 相似文献

Studying seed dormancy and its consequent effect can provide important information for vegetation restoration and management. The present study investigated seed dormancy, seedling emergence and seed survival in the soil seed bank of Stipa bungeana, a grass species used in restoration of degraded land on the Loess Plateau in northwest China. Dormancy of fresh seeds was determined by incubation of seeds over a range of temperatures in both light and dark. Seed germination was evaluated after mechanical removal of palea and lemma (hulls), chemical scarification and dry storage. Fresh and one-year-stored seeds were sown in the field, and seedling emergence was monitored weekly for 8 weeks. Furthermore, seeds were buried at different soil depths, and then retrieved every 1 or 2 months to determine seed dormancy and seed viability in the laboratory. Fresh seeds (caryopses enclosed by palea and lemma) had non-deep physiological dormancy. Removal of palea and lemma, chemical scarification, dry storage (afterripening), gibberellin (GA3) and potassium nitrate (KNO3) significantly improved germination. Dormancy was completely released by removal of the hulls, but seeds on which hulls were put back to their original position germinated to only 46%. Pretreatment of seeds with a 30% NaOH solution for 60 min increased germination from 25% to 82%. Speed of seedling emergence from fresh seeds was significantly lower than that of seeds stored for 1 year. However, final percentage of seedling emergence did not differ significantly for seeds sown at depths of 0 and 1 cm. Most fresh seeds of S. bungeana buried in the field in early July either had germinated or lost viability by September. All seeds buried at a depth of 5 cm had lost viability after 5 months, whereas 12% and 4% seeds of those sown on the soil surface were viable after 5 and 12 months, respectively. 相似文献

The sensitivity of a Polish provenance of dormant Corylus avellana seeds to extreme desiccation and cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen (LN, ?196°C) was investigated. No sensitivity to desiccation was observed as seeds readily germinated and exhibited seedling emergence, even when the critical water content (WC) of seeds (nuts devoid of pericarp) was reduced to 0.027 g H2O/g dry mass, g g?1 by drying. Results of germination and seedling emergence tests indicated that seeds tolerated cooling in LN when desiccated to a WC in the range of 0.05–0.10 and 0.08–0.10 g g?1, respectively. The results of this study demonstrate the feasibility of long‐term cryopreservation of European hazelnut seeds. As the seeds of this species have been classified in several different categories (orthodox, suborthodox and recalcitrant), based on their response to desiccation and low temperature, the assignment of the seeds of hazelnut to a specific category is provided and discussed. 相似文献
