DNA Damage During Seed Ageing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seed ageing is influenced by two environmental factors, RH and temperature. The deterioration of the stored seed is a natural phenomenon and the seeds tend to lose viability even under ideal storage conditions. Accelerated ageing has been recognized as a good predictor of the storability of seed lots. Aged seeds show decreased vigour and produce weak seedlings that are unable to survive once reintroduced into a habitat. Vigour testing becomes more important in seeds stored under unknown or adverse storage conditions. In seed ageing damage to cellular membranes, decrease in mitochondrial dehydrogenases activities and DNA degradation increases.

Effects of Drought Stress during Seed Development and Subsequent Accelerated Ageing on Wheat Seed Mitochondrial Ultra-structure, Seedling Antioxidant Enzymes, and Malondialdehyde
In this experiment, wheat plants were exposed to drought stress during seed development then we worked on the obtained seeds. The seed mitochondrial ultra-structure, and antioxidant enzymes in seedling were investigated after exposure to seed accelerated ageing. Drought stress during seed development induced some changes in mitochondrial ultra-structure. Encountering seed development to drought...
