Journal ArticleDOI
Different Modes of Hydrogen Peroxide Action During Seed Germination.
TL;DR: How seed priming/conditioning affects the integrative role of hydrogen peroxide in seed germination and aging is outlined and the detrimental effects of H2O2 on seed biology is focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced expression of the proline synthesis gene P5CSA in relation to seed osmopriming improvement of Brassica napus germination under salinity stress.
Szymon Kubala,Łukasz Wojtyla,Muriel Quinet,Katarzyna Lechowska,Stanley Lutts,Małgorzata Garnczarska +5 more
TL;DR: The role of priming-induced modulation of activities of particular genes and enzymes of proline turnover, and its relationship with higher content of hydrogen peroxide, in improving seed germination under salinity stress is shown for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular processes induced in primed seeds-increasing the potential to stabilize crop yields under drought conditions.
TL;DR: An overview of the metabolic changes modulated by priming, such as the activation of DNA repair and the antioxidant system, accumulation of aquaporins and late embryogenesis abundant proteins that contribute to enhanced drought stress tolerance are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Insight on Water Status in Germinating Brassica napus Seeds in Relation to Priming-Improved Germination
Katarzyna Lechowska,Szymon Kubala,Łukasz Wojtyla,Grzegorz Nowaczyk,Muriel Quinet,Stanley Lutts,Małgorzata Garnczarska +6 more
TL;DR: Osmopriming enhanced the kinetics of water uptake and the total amount of absorbed water during both the early imbibition stage and in the later phases of seed germination, and the spin–spin relaxation time (T2) measurement suggests that osmopiming causes faster water penetration into the seed and more efficient tissue hydration.
