Identification Of Reference Genes For RT-qPCR Expression Analysis In Arabidopsis And Tomato Seeds
Bas J.W. Dekkers,Bas J.W. Dekkers,Leo A. J. Willems,George W. Bassel,R. P. (Marieke) van Bolderen-Veldkamp,R. P. (Marieke) van Bolderen-Veldkamp,Wilco Ligterink,Henk W. M. Hilhorst,Leónie Bentsink,Leónie Bentsink +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors mined Arabidopsis seed microarray data to identify stably expressed genes and analyzed these together with putative reference genes from other sources, which provided a valuable resource for accurate normalization of gene expression experiments in seed research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptional dynamics of two seed compartments with opposing roles in Arabidopsis seed germination

Wood,Ivo Grosse,Marcel Quint,Natalio Krasnogor,Gerhard Leubner-Metzger,Michael J. Holdsworth,Leónie Bentsink +16 more
TL;DR: Gene expression profiling in two seed compartments uncovers two transcriptional phases during seed germination that are separated by testa rupture, and indicates a role for mechano-induced signaling at this stage and highlights the fates of the endosperm and radicle: senescence and growth, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucose delays seed germination in Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: It is reported that glucose delays germination of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh seeds at concentrations below those known to inhibit early seedling development and this inhibition acts on embryo growth and is independent of hexokinase (HXK) function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between sugar and abscisic acid signalling during early seedling development in Arabidopsis
TL;DR: Three previously unidentified sugar signalling genes have been identified, showing that ABA and glucose signalling overlap to a larger extend than originally thought.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Arabidopsis DELAY OF GERMINATION 1 gene affects ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE 5 (ABI5) expression and genetically interacts with ABI3 during Arabidopsis seed development.

TL;DR: Analysis of the dog1 and dog1 abi3 mutants revealed additional seed phenotypes and it is hypothesized that DOG1 function is not limited to dormancy but that it is required for multiple aspects of seed maturation, in part by interfering with ABA signalling components.
