Priming memory invokes seed stress-tolerance
Keting Chen,Rajeev Arora +1 more
TL;DR: A hypothetical model illustrating the cellular physiology of priming-induced stress-tolerance is proposed, likely achieved via two strategies: first, seed priming sets in motion germination-related activities that facilitate the transition of quiescent dry seeds into germinating state and lead to improved germination potential, and secondly, priming imposes abiotic stress on seeds that represses radicle protrusion but stimulates stress responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of the antioxidant system during seed osmopriming, post-priming germination, and seedling establishment in Spinach (Spinacia oleracea).
Keting Chen,Rajeev Arora +1 more
TL;DR: Osmopriming strengthens the antioxidant system and increases seed germination potential, resulting in an increased stress tolerance in germinating seeds, however, it may diminish in relatively older seedlings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dehydrin metabolism is altered during seed osmopriming and subsequent germination under chilling and desiccation in Spinacia oleracea L. cv. Bloomsdale: possible role in stress tolerance.
TL;DR: It is suggested that 30, 26, and 19-kD dehydrin-like proteins and CAP85 may be used as potential biochemical/molecular markers for priming-induced stress tolerance in 'Bloomsdale' spinach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of short-term versus prolonged freezing on freeze–thaw injury and post-thaw recovery in spinach: Importance in laboratory freeze–thaw protocols
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the extent of freeze-thaw injury, estimated by various physiological indicators [electrolyte leakage, photosystem II efficiency (F v / F m ), accumulation of reactive oxygen species (O 2 − and H 2 O 2 ), and malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation], in the leaves of spinach ( Spinacia oleracea L.) when exposed for various durations (0.5, 3.0, 5, and 10.5) of freezing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteomic changes associated with freeze‐thaw injury and post‐thaw recovery in onion (Allium cepa L.) scales
TL;DR: Observations suggest that while freeze-thaw compromises the constitutive stress protection and energy supply in onion scales, it might also recruit 'first-responders' (IRPs that were induced) to mitigate such injury.
