Abstract:

Plant seeds progress through specific stages during germination, from quiescence in the dry state through water uptake, testa rupture and finally endosperm rupture. The stages of seed germination are fairly well classified but the underlying biochemical and mechanical processes are unknown. The ability to control a seeds progression through the stages of germination has implications on farming efficiency and so the following thesis explores Arabidopsis thaliana and Lepidium sativum seeds during the germination process. A systematic approach to analysing the shape of cells within the radicle (e

Abstract:

Seed germination has many impacts on the uses of seeds, and is an important subject for study. Seed germination is regulated at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Therefore, it is important to study how polyadenylation regulates gene expression during seed germination. To this end, a modified Illumina GAIIx sequencing protocol (described in Chapter Two) was developed that allows deep coverage of poly(A) site position and distribution. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) regulates gene expression by choosing one potential poly(A) site on a precursor RNA consequentially shorteni

This study aimed to improve seed quality in cauliflower and cabbage, firstly though the development of rapid methods for the evaluation of germination and seed storage potential using measurements of seed leachates conductivity and secondly, through the application of seed treatments both as pre-storage treatments and to improve germination under stress conditions. Significant negative correlations between germination and the conductivity of seed leachate were observed both when seed had high germinations after ageing and when a range of germinations resulted from either combinations of dead

Seed desiccation and germination have great potential for oxidative stress. Glutathione, one of the most abundant antioxidants in plant cells, is a crucial to the plant's defense mechanisms. To better understand glutathione's responses during these two stages, we examined its dynamics in wildtype Arabidopsis seeds and in a transgenic line containing an antisense glutathione reductase2 (anGR2) cDNA insert. Seeds from the two genotypes were compared morphologically. Glutathione levels in maturing and germinating seeds were measured by HPLC, and GR activity by native PAGE. Cytosolic glutathione w

Seed production and germination of some timber tree species were studied in Ghana for possible prediction of seed yield and natural regeneration.

Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is a warm season herb usually propagated from seeds.

The problematic reinfestation of chemically-treated sites by diffuse and spotted knapweed {Centaurea diffusa and C. maculosa) is thought to occur from dormant seeds in the soil. This study confirmed that reserves of dormant seeds are present in the soil of infested sites, although greater numbers of seeds were recovered from senesced plants. Knapweed plants produce both non-dormant and dormant seeds (germination polymorphism), the relative proportions of which vary between individual plants within a site, as well as between bulk samples collected from different sites.

Abstract:

Seed germination is one of the most important developmental steps in the life cycle of a higher plant. Because of this, seed producing plants have evolved mechanisms, such as dormancy, that time germination based on environmental cues. The present study uses Arabidopsis thaliana as a model to address questions about seed dormancy and germination. Three different lines of investigation were followed. The first involved an investigation of how light quality regulates phytohormones in order to control germination. This identified a light-dependent mechanism that differentially regulates expressio

Abstract:

The germination percentage and seedling respiration were evaluated on 11 cultivars of Cotton produced in Arizona. Respiration rates of 5-day old seedlings ranged from 6.0 to 16.9 mg /g⁻¹ hr⁻¹ for DP -5690 and KC-311, respectively. Germination percentage ranged from 31 to 87% for KC-311 and DP-51, respectively. A significant negative correlation (r = -.90) between respiration rates and the germination percentage indicates that seed quality is closely associated with early seedling metabolic rates.

The stage of maturity of seeds at harvest is an important factor that determines seed vigor. Separating seeds from a seed lot composed of many different stages of development can be difficult especially after maximum dry mass is attained.

Seeds may be non-destructively sorted using chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) as a marker of seed maturity.

Further evidence of imbibition damage was revealed in cowpea where the rapidly imbibing unpigmented seeds had poor vital staining with tetrazolium chloride after 24h imbibition.

Assessment of seed germination is an essential task for seed researchers to measure the quality and performance of seeds not only to achieve high productivity but also for economic growth. In fact, knowing in advance the germination rate of the seeds can give farmers a better idea of how much their fields will produce. The seeds assessment can be done before or after the experiment. In the after-experiment assessment, trained analysts evaluate the seed germination by counting the seeds which present radicles or leaves emanating from them.

The ability to see differences at the individual seed level was possible because of the development of the sequential imaging system.
