Journal ArticleDOI
First off the mark: early seed germination
TL;DR: An integrated view on the early phase of seed germination is provided and it is shown that it is characterized by dynamic biomechanical changes together with very early alterations in transcript, protein, and hormone levels that set the stage for the later events.
Journal ArticleDOI
In Vivo Cell Wall Loosening by Hydroxyl Radicals during Cress Seed Germination and Elongation Growth
Kerstin Müller,Ada Linkies,Robert A. M. Vreeburg,Stephen C. Fry,Anja Krieger-Liszkay,Gerhard Leubner-Metzger +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that plant cell wall loosening by ·OH is a controlled action of this type of reactive oxygen species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endosperm-limited Brassicaceae Seed Germination: Abscisic Acid Inhibits Embryo-induced Endosperm Weakening of Lepidium sativum (cress) and Endosperm Rupture of Cress and Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: It is proposed that Lepidium is an emerging Brassicaceae model system for endosperm weakening and that the complementary advantages of Lepidium and Arabidopsis can be used in parallel experiments to investigate the molecular mechanisms of endos sperm weakening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethylene Interacts with Abscisic Acid to Regulate Endosperm Rupture during Germination: A Comparative Approach Using Lepidium sativum and Arabidopsis thaliana
Ada Linkies,Kerstin Müller,Karl Morris,Veronika Turečková,Meike Wenk,Cassandra S.C. Cadman,Françoise Corbineau,Miroslav Strnad,James R. Lynn,William E. Finch-Savage,Gerhard Leubner-Metzger +10 more
TL;DR: It is reported on a comparative seed biology study with the close Brassicaceae relatives Lepidium sativum and Arabidopsis thaliana showing that ethylene biosynthesis and signaling regulate seed germination by a mechanism that requires the coordinated action of the radicle and the endosperm cap.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water Uptake and Distribution in Germinating Tobacco Seeds Investigated in Vivo by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging
TL;DR: The results support the proposal that different seed tissues and organs hydrate at different extents and that the micropylar endosperm region of tobacco acts as a water reservoir for the embryo.
