Physiological and enzymatic alterations in sesame seeds submitted to different osmotic potentials

Authors: R.M.O. Pires, M.A.B. Ã?Â?vila, D.G. Leite, H.O. Santos, G.A. Souza and E.V.R. Von Pinho

With the imminence of global climate changes that affect the temperature and the rainfall uniformity, it is growing the concern about the adaptation of crops to the water deficit. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate alterations in physiological and enzymatic mechanisms during the germination process of sesame see.. Read More»

Genetic divergence of physiological-quality traits of seeds in a population of peppers

Authors: A.M.S. Pessoa, P.A. Barroso, E.R. do R�ªgo, G.D.A. Medeiros, R.L.A. Bruno and M.M. do R�ªgo

Brazil has a great diversity of Capsicum peppers that can be used in breeding programs. The objective of this study was to evaluate genetic variation in traits related to the physiological quality of seeds of Capsicum annuum L. in a segregating F2 population and its parents. A total of 250 seeds produced by selfing in the F1 g.. Read More»

Allelopathy of the invasive plant Bidens frondosa on the seed germination of Geum japonicum var. chinense

Authors: X.F. Wang, D. Hassani, Z.W. Cheng, C.Y. Wang and J. Wu

Five gradient concentrations (0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.10 g/mL) of leaching liquors from the roots, stems, and leaves of the invasive plant Bidens frondosa were used as conditioning fluid to examine its influence on seed germination conditions of the native plant Geum japonicum var. chinense in Huangshan. All leaching liquors of organs suppressed the.. Read More»

Expression analysis of self-incompatibility-associated genes in non-heading Chinese cabbage

Authors: L. Wang, C. Wang, T.T. Ge, J.J. Wang, T.K. Liu, X.L. Hou and Y. Li

In Brassicaceae, a self-incompatibility (SI) system mediates pollen-pistil interactions. Self-pollen could be recognized and rejected by incompatible pistils. Several components involved in the SI response have been determined, including S-locus receptor kinase (SRK), S-locus cysteine-rich protein/S-locus protein 11, and arm r.. Read More»

Physiological quality and gene expression during the development of habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacquin) seeds

Authors: H.O. Santos, E.V.R. Von Pinho, I.V. Von Pinho, S.M.F. Dutra,T. Andrade and R.M. Guimar�£es

Phytohormones have different characteristics and functions, and they may be subject to changes in their gene expression and synthesis during seed development. In this study, we evaluated the physiological qualities of habanero peppers (Capsicum chinense Jacquin) during seed development and the expression of genes involved in germination. Seeds were obtain.. Read More»

Effects of low-energy argon ion implantation on the dynamic organization of the actin cytoskeleton during maize pollen germination

Authors: F. Deng, S.W. Zhu, L.J. Wu and B.J. Cheng

The relationship between pollen germination and the dynamic organization of the actin cytoskeleton during pollen germination is a central theme in plant reproductive biology research. Maize (Zea mays) pollen grains were implanted with 30 keV argon ion (Ar+) beams at doses ranging from 0.78 × 1015 to 13 × 1015 ions/.. Read More»

Effect of ethyl methyl sulfonate concentration and different treatment conditions on germination and seedling growth of the cucumber cultivar Chinese long (9930)

Authors: S.N.M. Shah, Z.-H. Gong, M.H. Arisha, A. Khan and S.-L. Tian

We attempted to create a new germplasm of cucumber cultivar Chinese long (9930) using different doses of ethyl methyl sulfonate (EMS) to induce variability. We tested EMS concentration (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 3% v/v) with post-treatment (0.1 M Na2S2O3 and water), EMS concentration (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5% v/v) over different treatment times (8, 16, 24 h), and EMS..

A simplified genomic DNA extraction protocol for pre-germination genotyping in rice

Authors: Y.B. Duan, F.L. Zhao, H.D. Chen, H. Li, D.H. Ni, P.C. Wei, W. Sheng, J.T. Teng, A.M. Zhang and J.P. Xue

Genotyping is a critical step for molecular markerassisted selection in rice. Rice genomic DNA samples for genotyping are typically isolated from living tissues such as seedlings. This requires the germination of all candidate seeds and extraction of DNA from the seedlings. Currently, an ideal individual is selected from a very large number of plants, whi.. Read More»
