This paper is a resume of research on imbibitional chilling injury of seeds. The following summarizes the experimental results obtained and some views and concepts derived from the studies conducted at Beijing Botanical Garden during the last decade. A lot of evidence has supported and confirmed the hypothesis for imbibitional chilling injury in seeds, i.e. the primary target of harmful effects during the chilling rehydration in seeds is the membrane systems, and the subsequent degree of lasting damage depends highly on the repair of the membrane systems themselves. The two processes of repair, physical and physiological–biochemical processes, can complement each other to a certain extent.read more

Influence of light, temperature, salinity and storage on seed germination of Haloxylon ammodendron
TL;DR: Haloxylon ammodendron is an important economic plant used for sand fixation, pasture and fuel and its seed viability of about 10 months can be extended by cold or ultra dry storage at seed moisture content below 5%.

Ascorbate–glutathione cycle of mitochondria in osmoprimed soybean cotyledons in response to imbibitional chilling injury
TL;DR: Results indicate that osmopriming treatment enhances activity of the ASC-GSH cycle of mitochondria, which raises the chilling tolerance in soybean seeds and protects against H(2)O( 2) that is generated in mitochondria during imbibition at low temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osmopriming-regulated changes of plasma membrane composition and function were inhibited by phenylarsine oxide in soybean seeds.
TL;DR: The results showed the germination of osmoconditioned seeds decreased significantly when PAO was added in PEG solution after chilling treatment, indicated that tyrosine protein phosphorylation is involved in the regulatory mechanisms of o smoconditions-responsive chilling in soybean seeds.

Novel Germplasm and Screening Methods for Early Cold Tolerance in Sorghum
TL;DR: This study selected novel, not previously characterized, cold-tolerant sorghum accessions that can germinate in a traditional cold test at 10°C in the laboratory and emerge in the field under a wide range of stressful conditions.

Effects of Seed Storage on Germination of Desert Halophytes with Transient Seed Bank
TL;DR: In both species, fridge storage had little effects on final germination and germination speed of seeds incubated at the different temperatures, compared to fresh seeds, however, room temperature and warm storages significantly reduced final Germination and Germination speed at theDifferent temperatures, so the reduction was more pronounced at 35 °C, especially in H. salicornicum.

Phospholipids and plant membrane permeability
TL;DR: Current views on membrane construction are presented as a basis for discussing certain modifications of structure that may render membranes leaky, allowing solutes to diffuse from them.

Chilling Stress to Soybeans during Imhibition.
TL;DR: The data are taken to indicate that low temperature interferes with normal membrane reorganization during imbibition, probably by modifying the physical state of membrane phospholipids, and that the consequent abnormal organization of membranes is a basic cause of low temperature injury.

Temperature effects on soybean imbibition and leakage.
TL;DR: Measurements were made of the initial linear rates of water entry into and solute leakage out of cotyledons of soybean at various temperatures, interpreted as a quantitative disruption of membrane reorganization at the temperatures associated with chilling injury.
