Significance Mechanisms of plant seed dormancy evolved to delay germination a season favorable for seedling growth. Germination timing is an important adaptive early-life history trait which determines fitness in natural and agricultural ecosystems. The DELAY OF GERMINATION 1 ( DOG1 ) gene provides genetic variation dormancy, was the first dormancy-specific cloned, encodes protein unknown function. We show here that controls different species by setting optimal ambient temperature window...
The EID1-like protein 3 (EDL3) shows high similarity to EID1 (Empfindlicher im dunkelroten Licht 1), an F-box that functions as a negative regulator in the signalling cascade downstream of phytochrome A photoreceptor Arabidopsis thaliana. Analyses revealed strong and rapid induction EDL3 gene expression under osmotic stress, salinity, upon abscisic acid (ABA) application. Therefore, it was speculated is involved regulation responses controlled by this plant hormone, which not only regulates...
In the ‘Rocket Science’ project, storage of Eruca sativa (salad rocket) seeds for six months on board International Space Station resulted in delayed seedling establishment. Here we investigated physiological and molecular mechanisms underpinning spaceflight effects dry seeds. We found that ‘Space’ seed germination vigor was reduced, ageing sensitivity increased, but did not compromise viability development normal seedlings. Comparative analysis transcriptomes (using RNAseq) upon controlled...
Millennia of continuous innovation have driven ever increasing efficiency in the milling process. Mechanically characterizing wheat grains and discerning structure function bran layers can contribute to continuing innovation. We present novel shear force puncture testing regimes characterize different grain cultivars. The forces endured by during process be quantified, enabling us measure impact commonly applied pretreatments, such as microwave heating, extended tempering, enzyme hormone...
The dynamic behaviour of seeds in soil seed banks depends on their ability to act as sophisticated environmental sensors adjust sensitivity thresholds for germination by dormancy mechanisms. Here we show that prolonged incubation sugar beet fruits at low temperature (chilling 5°C, generally known release many species) can induce secondary nondeep physiological an apparently nondormant crop species. and biophysical mechanisms underpinning this cold-induced include the chilling-induced...
Seed-processing technologies such as polishing and washing enhance crop seed quality by limited removal of the outer layers leaching. Combined, this removes chemical compounds that inhibit germination. Industrial processing to deliver high-quality commercial includes removing inhibitors germination, is essential produce fresh sprouts, achieve vigorous establishment, high yield potential in field. Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. var. altissima Doell.), main sugar source temperate...
