Preharvest sprouting is a major problem in Sorghum cropswhich leads to losses in seed viability and produces importantdecreases in grain weight. In this paper we aimed to have aninsight into the physiological basis of pre-harvest sproutingresistance in this crop by assessing germinability, ABA embryoniccontent and embryonic sensitivity to ABA during seed developmentin three varieties presenting contrasting sprouting behaviour:Redland B2 (very susceptible), SC 650 (moderately resistant)and IS 9530 (very resistant). Redland B2 caryopses were ableto germinate with high germination indices from early stagesof development, while caryopses from IS 9530 did not presentgermination indices different from 0 until near physiologicalmaturity. SC 650 (moderately resistant) grains presented anintermediate pattern of behaviour. In all three varieties isolatedembryos were able to germinate with maximum germination indicesfrom as early as 15 d after pollination (DAP). Differences ingrain dormancy level were not paralleled by a consistently differentendogenous ABA content throughout maturation. However, whenABA embryonic content was measured in incubated 35 DAP caryopses,ABA level in B2 embryos after 24 h of incubation was found tobe less than half that observed in IS 9530 embryo after thesame period of incubation. In addition, B2 embryos were foundto be 10fold less sensitive to the inhibitory effectof ABA than embryos from the other two varieties. These resultsexplain to a considerable extent differences in germinabilitybetween sproutingresistant and susceptible varietiesand are consistent with differences in sprouting behaviour.

The effect of fluctuating temperatures on the germination ofimmature caryopses of two Sorghum varieties presenting contrastingsusceptibility to pre-harvest sprouting was investigated. Fluctuatingtemperatures were able to stimulate germination of immaturecaryopses of both varieties from early stages of development(i.e. 15 d after pollination). Isolated embryos from both varietiesgerminated well in water irrespective of the thermal regimeof incubation. However, the ability of ABA to block germinationin Redland B2 (sproutingsusceptible) isolated embryos was significantlyreduced when embryos were incubated under fluctuating temperaturesfrom 23 DAP onwards. No such effect was found in IS 9530 (sprouting-resistant)embryos. No differences in the pattern with which embryonicABA content decreased during whole grain incubation were foundin 25 and 35 DAP grains from both varieties incubated underconstant or fluctuating temperatures. Therefore, these resultsindicate that alternating temperatures can promote germinationthrough different mechanisms. One of them is the decrease inembryo sensitivity to ABA inhibition which appears to be actingin Redland B2 caryopses from 23 DAP onwards; the other one seemsto be independent of ABA level and sensitivity and is activeat very early stages of development in one variety (RedlandB2) and throughout seed development in the other (IS 9530).

As a strategy to increase the seed dormancy of soft white wheat, mutants with increased sensitivity to the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) were identified in mutagenized grain of soft white spring wheat “Zak”. Lack of seed dormancy is correlated with increased susceptibility to preharvest sprouting in wheat, especially those cultivars with white kernels. ABA induces seed dormancy during embryo maturation and inhibits the germination of mature grain. Three mutant lines called Zak ERA8, Zak ERA19A, and Zak ERA19B (Zak ENHANCED RESPONSE to ABA) were recovered based on failure to germinate on 5 μM ABA. All three mutants resulted in increased ABA sensitivity over a wide range of concentrations such that a phenotype can be detected at very low ABA concentrations. Wheat loses sensitivity to ABA inhibition of germination with extended periods of dry after-ripening. All three mutants recovered required more time to after-ripen sufficiently to germinate in the absence of ABA and to lose sensitivity to 5 μM ABA. However, an increase in ABA sensitivity could be detected after as long as 3 years of after-ripening using high ABA concentrations. The Zak ERA8 line showed the strongest phenotype and segregated as a single semi-dominant mutation. This mutation resulted in no obvious decrease in yield and is a good candidate gene for breeding preharvest sprouting tolerance. 相似文献

? Studies of embryo dormancy in relation to preharvest sprouting (PHS) in cereals have focused on ABA and other hormones. The relationship between these phenomena and the rate of grain filling has not been investigated. ? A collection of barley mutants impaired in starch synthesis was assessed for preharvest sprouting in the field. In subsequent glasshouse experiments, developing grains were assayed for germination index, sugars, abscisic acid (ABA) and the effects of temperature and exogenous ABA on germination. ? Mutant lines displayed greater preharvest sprouting in the field than parental lines. In the glasshouse, nondeep physiological dormancy was reduced in developing grains of five lines with mutations affecting proteins involved in endosperm starch synthesis. Inhibition of germination by exogenous ABA and elevated temperature was decreased in developing mutant grains. Sugar concentrations were high but embryo and endosperm ABA contents were unaltered. ? We reveal a direct connection between grain filling and the extent of grain dormancy. Impaired endosperm starch synthesis directly influences the acquisition of embryo dormancy, perhaps because endosperm sugar concentrations modulate the ABA responsiveness of the embryo. Thus environmental or genetic factors that reduce grain filling are likely to reduce dormancy and enhance susceptibility to PHS. 相似文献

Role of Abscisic Acid in Seed Dormancy 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
Allison R. Kermode 《Journal of Plant Growth Regulation》2005,24(4):319-344
Seed dormancy is an adaptive trait that improves survival of the next generation by optimizing the distribution of germination
over time. The agricultural and forest industries rely on seeds that exhibit high rates of germination and vigorous, synchronous
growth after germination; hence dormancy is sometimes considered an undesirable trait. The forest industry encounters problems
with the pronounced dormancy of some conifer seeds, a feature that can lead to non-uniform germination and poor seedling vigor.
In cereal crops, an optimum balance is most sought after; some dormancy at harvest is favored because it prevents germination
of the physiologically mature grain in the head prior to harvest (that is, preharvest sprouting), a phenomenon that leads
to considerable damage to grain quality and is especially prominent in cool moist environments. The sesquiterpene abscisic
acid (ABA) regulates key events during seed formation, such as the deposition of storage reserves, prevention of precocious
germination, acquisition of desiccation tolerance, and induction of primary dormancy. Its regulatory role is achieved in part
by cross-talk with other hormones and their associated signaling networks, via mechanisms that are largely unknown. Quantitative
genetics and functional genomics approaches will contribute to the elucidation of genes and proteins that control seed dormancy
and germination, including components of the ABA signal transduction pathway. Dynamic changes in ABA biosynthesis and catabolism
elicit hormone-signaling changes that affect downstream gene expression and thereby regulate critical checkpoints at the transitions
from dormancy to germination and from germination to growth. Some of the recent developments in these areas are discussed. 相似文献

Nitrate,abscisic acid and gibberellin interactions on the thermoinhibition of lettuce seed germination 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Germination of lettuce seeds has obvious thermoinhibition, but the mechanism for thermoinhibition of seed germination is poorly
understood. Here, we investigated the interactions of nitrate, abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin on seed germination at
high temperatures to understand further the mechanism for thermoinhibition of seed germination. Our results showed that lettuce
(Lactuca sativa L. ‘Jianye Xianfeng No. 1’) seeds exhibited notable thermoinhibiton of germination at ≥17°C in darkness, and at ≥23°C in
light, but the thermoinhibited seeds did not exhibit secondary dormancy. Thermoinhibition of seed germination at 23 or 25°C
in light was notably decreased by 5 and 10 mM nitrate, and the stimulatory effects were markedly prevented by nitric oxide
(NO) scavenger 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide. The sensitivity of seed germination to exogenous ABA
increased with increasing temperature. Thermoinhibition of seed germination was markedly decreased by fluridone (an inhibitor
of ABA biosynthesis) and GA3, and was increased by diniconazole (an inhibitor of the ABA-catabolizing enzyme ABA 8′-hydroxylase) and paclobutrazol (an
inhibitor of GA biosynthetic pathway). The effect of fluridone in decreasing thermoinhibition of seed germination was obviously
antagonized by paclobutrazol, and that of GA3 was notably added to by fluridone, and that of nitrate was antagonized by paclobutrazol, diniconazole and ABA and was added
to by GA3 and fluridone. Our data show that thermoinhibition of lettuce seed germination is decreased by nitrate in a NO-dependent
manner, which is antagonized by ABA, diniconazole and paclobutrazol and added by fluridone. 相似文献

The mechanisms imposing a gibberellin (GA) requirement to promote the germination of dormant and non-dormant Arabidopsis seeds were analyzed using the GA-deficient mutant ga1, several seed coat pigmentation and structure mutants, and the abscisic acid (ABA)-deficient mutant aba1. Testa mutants, which exhibit reduced seed dormancy, were not resistant to GA biosynthesis inhibitors such as tetcyclacis and paclobutrazol, contrarily to what was found before for other non-dormant mutants in Arabidopsis. However, testa mutants were more sensitive to exogenous GAs than the wild-types in the presence of the inhibitors or when transferred to a GA-deficient background. The germination capacity of the ga1-1 mutant could be integrally restored, without the help of exogenous GAs, by removing the envelopes or by transferring the mutation to a tt background (tt4 and ttg1). The double mutants still required light and chilling for dormancy breaking, which may indicate that both agents can have an effect independently of GA biosynthesis. The ABA biosynthesis inhibitor norflurazon was partially efficient in releasing the dormancy of wild-type and mutant seeds. These results suggest that GAs are required to overcome the germination constraints imposed both by the seed coat and ABA-related embryo dormancy. 相似文献

Seed dormancy is an important economic trait for agricultural production. Abscisic acid (ABA) and Gibberellins (GA) are the primary factors that regulate the transition from dormancy to germination, and they regulate this process antagonistically. The detailed regulatory mechanism involving crosstalk between ABA and GA, which underlies seed dormancy, requires further elucidation. Here, we report that ABI4 positively regulates primary seed dormancy, while negatively regulating cotyledon greening, by mediating the biogenesis of ABA and GA. Seeds of the Arabidopsis abi4 mutant that were subjected to short-term storage (one or two weeks) germinated significantly more quickly than Wild-Type (WT), and abi4 cotyledons greened markedly more quickly than WT, while the rates of germination and greening were comparable when the seeds were subjected to longer-term storage (six months). The ABA content of dry abi4 seeds was remarkably lower than that of WT, but the amounts were comparable after stratification. Consistently, the GA level of abi4 seeds was increased compared to WT. Further analysis showed that abi4 was resistant to treatment with paclobutrazol (PAC), a GA biosynthesis inhibitor, during germination, while OE-ABI4 was sensitive to PAC, and exogenous GA rescued the delayed germination phenotype of OE-ABI4. Analysis by qRT-PCR showed that the expression of genes involved in ABA and GA metabolism in dry and germinating seeds corresponded to hormonal measurements. Moreover, chromatin immunoprecipitation qPCR (ChIP-qPCR) and transient expression analysis showed that ABI4 repressed CYP707A1 and CYP707A2 expression by directly binding to those promoters, and the ABI4 binding elements are essential for this repression. Accordingly, further genetic analysis showed that abi4 recovered the delayed germination phenotype of cyp707a1 and cyp707a2 and further, rescued the non-germinating phenotype of ga1-t. Taken together, this study suggests that ABI4 is a key factor that regulates primary seed dormancy by mediating the balance between ABA and GA biogenesis. 相似文献

Aims Leymus chinensis is an original dominant plant in the Songnen grassland, and it has great value for restoration of severely degraded land. However, seeds are dormant, and low germination percentage is a problem for restoring L.chinensis grassland. The mechanism of seed dormancy is not been well understood. The primary aims of the present study were to investigate the dormancy mechanism of L.chinensis seeds (caryopses) with reference to the role of embryo-covering layers, endogenous hormones and temperature.Methods Changes in concentration of the endogenous hormones GA 3, indoleacetic acid (IAA), zeatin riboside (ZR) and abscisic acid (ABA) in L.chinensis seeds from anthesis to maturity were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Germination at different stages of maturity were tested at 16/28°C, 5/28°C and 5/35°C for intact seeds with glumes (control), intact seeds with glumes removed (naked-whole seeds) and intact seeds with glumes and one-half of the endosperm removed (naked-half seeds).Important findings Of the four endogenous hormones monitored, only the concentration of ZR differed significantly between the beginning and the end of seed development (increased); the GA 3 /ABA ratio also did not differ. Rank of germination percentage of control at the three temperature regimens was 5/28°C> 16/28°C> 5/35°C. Germination percentage of the naked-half seeds reached 100% under the three temperature regimens. We concluded that dormancy of L.chinensis seeds is not mainly controlled by endogenous hormones. Germination temperature, mechanical resistance of glumes and inhibition of endosperm are the main factors controlling dormancy and germination of L.chinensis seeds. 相似文献

Germination responses of wild-type (MM), abscisic acid (ABA)-deficient (sitw), and gibberellin (GA)-deficient (gib-1) mutant tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv Moneymaker) seeds to ABA, GA4+7, reduced water potential ([psi]), and their combinations were analyzed using a population-based threshold model (B.R. Ni and K.J. Bradford [1992] Plant Physiol 98: 1057-1068). Among the three genotypes, sitw seeds germinated rapidly and completely in water, MM seeds germinated more slowly and were partially dormant, and gib-1 seeds did not germinate without exogenous GA4+7. Times to germination were inversely proportional to the differences between the external osmoticum, ABA, or GA4+7 concentrations and the corresponding threshold levels that would either prevent ([psi]b, log[ABAb]) or promote (log[GAb]) germination. The sensitivity of germination to ABA, GA4+7, and [psi] varied widely among individual seeds in the population, resulting in a distribution of germination times. The rapid germination rate of sitw seeds was attributable to their low mean [psi]b (-1.17 MPa). Postharvest dormancy in MM seeds was due to a high mean [psi]b (-0.35 MPa) and a distribution of [psi]b among seeds such that some seeds were unable to germinate even on water. GA4+7 (100 [mu]M) stimulated germination of MM and gib-1 seeds by lowering the mean [psi]b to -0.75 MPa, whereas ABA inhibited germination of MM and sitw seeds by increasing the mean [psi]b. The changes in [psi]b were not due to changes in embryo osmotic potential. Rather, hormonal effects on endosperm weakening opposite the radicle tip apparently determine the threshold [psi] for germination. The analysis demonstrates that ABA- and GA-dependent changes in seed dormancy and germination rates, whether due to endogenous or exogenous growth regulators, are based primarily upon corresponding shifts in the [psi] thresholds for radicle emergence. The [psi] thresholds, in turn, determine both the rate and final extent of germination within the seed population. 相似文献

Changes in ABA turnover and sensitivity that accompany dormancy termination of yellow-cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) seeds. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Nancy Schmitz Suzanne R Abrams Allison R Kermode 《Journal of experimental botany》2002,53(366):89-101
Yellow-cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis [D. Don] Spach) seeds exhibit prolonged coat-imposed dormancy following their dispersal from the parent plant. Analyses were undertaken using S-(+)-[(3)H] abscisic acid (ABA) to monitor the capacity of embryos to metabolize ABA following their isolation from seeds subjected to various dormancy-breaking and control treatments. Radiolabelled phaseic acid (PA) and dihydrophaseic acid (DPA) were detected in embryos and, to a greater extent in the surrounding media, by 48 h regardless of whether the embryos had been excised from seed previously subjected to only a 3 d soak or to a full dormancy-breaking treatment. Of the two enantiomers of ABA, only the natural S-(+)-ABA effectively inhibited germination of isolated embryos. A metabolism-resistant synthetic ABA analogue S-[8',8',8',9',9',9']-hexadeuteroabscisic acid, S-(+)-d6-ABA, consistently slowed the germination rate of excised embryos to a greater extent than that caused by natural S-(+)-ABA. The deuterium-labelled ring methyl groups of the analogue made it more resistant to oxidation by yellow-cedar embryos and thus rendered the analogue more persistent and possessing greater activity. With increasing time of exposure to moist chilling, yellow-cedar embryos became increasingly insensitive to both ABA and to the analogue. Subjecting seed to chemical treatments (GA(3) in combination with 1-propanol) prior to moist chilling strongly enhanced the germinability of whole seeds. This treatment also had a relatively greater impact on ABA metabolism than did moist chilling alone, as indicated by a greater capacity of S-(+)-d6-ABA to inhibit the germination of embryos as compared to S-(+)-ABA. Moist chilling was most critical for reduced ABA sensitivity of embryos. A change in the embryo's ability to metabolize ABA and reduced embryo sensitivity to ABA are two factors associated with dormancy termination of whole seeds of yellow cedar; a change in only one of these factors is insufficient to elicit high germinability. 相似文献

珍稀濒危植物珙桐种子休眠萌发过程中内源激素的变化 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
珙桐是我国特有珍稀濒危植物,休眠期长且具二次休眠现象。将处于休眠萌发过程中的珙桐种子依据胚根长度划分为4个阶段,利用高效液相色谱(HPLC)测定各阶段种子及其内果皮中ABA(脱落酸)、GA(赤霉素)、KT(细胞分裂素)、IAA(3-吲哚乙酸)4种内源激素含量,分析其比值动态变化,并与幼苗阶段进行比较。结果显示:未破壳种子的内果皮中内源激素含量以ABA最高,其次是GA、IAA、KT,随着种子破壳后四种激素含量显著降低。除ABA外,种子中GA、IAA和KT含量随着胚根的伸长逐渐升高,但仍低于幼苗阶段。此外,随着胚根伸长,种子中GA/ABA、IAA/ABA、KT/ABA比值逐渐增大,其中以GA/ABA的变化最显著。因此,珙桐种子的休眠和萌发可能主要受ABA和GA的平衡和拮抗来调控。 相似文献

Seeds of Bunium persicum (Boiss.) B. Fedtsch. have complex physiological dormancy that can be released by 15 weeks stratification. The present study revealed that cold stratification enhanced content of H2O2, O2 -· and application of GA3 and ROS donors (Fenton reagent, H2O2, methylviologen and menadione) did not affect or only slightly promoted the germination of non-stratified, fully dormant seeds. Dormancy was markedly decreased by ROS-generating reagents, GA3 and fluridone (an inhibitor of ABA biosynthesis) and was enhanced by ROS-decreasing compounds (DMTU, Tiron, SB and DPI), diniconazole (Dinc, an inhibitor of ABA catabolism) and paclobutrazol (PAC, an inhibitor of GA biosynthesis) when dormancy was partially removed by cold stratification. The response to these compounds reduced with increasing time of stratification. ABA inhibited germination by repressing of NADPH oxidase activity and ROS accumulation and conversely, GA triggered germination by promoting an increase of NADPH oxidase activity and ROS levels. Data in this study, for the first time suggest releasing deep complex physiological dormancy by cold stratification is associated with interplay between ROS and ABA/GA. 相似文献

Fluctuating temperature plays a critical role in determining the timing of seed germination in many plant species. However, the physiological and biochemical mechanisms underlying such a response have been paid little attention. The present study investigated the effect of plant growth regulators and cold stratification in regulating Leymus chinensis seed germination and dormancy response to temperature. Results showed that seed germination was less than 2 % at all constant temperatures while fluctuating temperature significantly increased germination percentage. The highest germination was 71 % at 20/30 °C. Removal of the embryo enclosing material of L. chinensis seed germinated to 74 %, and replaced the requirement for fluctuating temperature to germinate, by increasing embryo growth potential. Applications of GA4+7 significantly increased seed germination at constant temperature. Also, inhibition of GA biosynthesis significantly decreased seed germination at fluctuating temperatures depending upon paclobutrazol concentration. This implied GA was necessary for non-dormant seed germination and played an important role in regulating seed germination response to temperature. Inhibition of ABA biosynthesis during imbibition completely released seed dormancy at 20/30 °C, but showed no effect on seed germination at constant temperature, suggesting ABA biosynthesis was important for seed dormancy maintenance but may not involve in seed germination response to temperature. Cold stratification with water or GA3 induced seed into secondary dormancy, but this effect was reversed by exogenous FL, suggesting ABA biosynthesis during cold stratification was involved in secondary dormancy. Also, cold stratification with FL entirely replaced the requirement of fluctuating temperature for germination with seeds having 73 % germination at constant temperature. This appears to be attributed to inhibition of ABA biosynthesis and an increase of GA biosynthesis during cold stratification, leading to an increased embryo growth potential. We suggest that fluctuating temperature promotes seed germination by increasing embryo growth potential, mainly attributed to GA biosynthesis during imbibitions. ABA is important for seed dormancy maintenance and induction but showed less effect on non-dormant seed germination response to temperature. 相似文献
