Seed germination is regulated through elaborately interacting signaling networks that integrate diverse environmental cues into hormonal signaling pathways. Roles of gibberellic acid and abscisic acid in germination have been studied extensively using Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants having alterations in seed germination. Auxin has also been implicated in seed germination. However, h...
AIMS To determine roles of cortex lytic enzymes (CLEs) in Bacillus megaterium spore germination. METHODS AND RESULTS Genes for B. megaterium CLEs CwlJ and SleB were inactivated and effects of loss of one or both on germination were assessed. Loss of CwlJ or SleB did not prevent completion of germination with agents that activate the spore's germinant receptors, but loss of CwlJ slowed the rel...
Temperature ( T ) and water potential ( y ) are two primary environmental regulators of seed germination. Seeds exhibit a base or minimum T for germination ( T b ), an optimum T at which germination is most rapid ( T o ), and a maximum or ceiling T at which germination is prevented ( T c ). Germination at suboptimal T can be characterized on the basis of thermal time, or the T in excess of T b ...
Early life-cycle events play critical roles in determining the population and community dynamics of plants. The ecology of seeds and their germination patterns can determine range limits, adaptation to environmental variation, species diversity, and community responses to climate change. Understanding the adaptive consequences and environmental filtering of such functional traits will allow us ...
AIMS We propose to apply the Wirtz-Conklin staining technique to evaluate spore germination. METHODS AND RESULTS Spores at different stages of germination were stained with modified spore stain (Wirtz-Conklin) and evaluated for staining properties. Bacillus spores suspended in deionized water, which does not support germination, stained greenish-blue. Spores suspended in germination enhancers...
The use of engineered nanomaterials has increased as a result of their positive impact on many sectors of the economy, including agriculture. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are now used to enhance seed germination, plant growth, and photosynthetic quantum efficiency and as antimicrobial agents to control plant diseases. In this study, we examined the effect of AgNP dosage on the seed germination ...
Germination of dormant spores of Bacillus species is initiated when nutrient germinants bind to germinant receptors in spores' inner membrane and this interaction triggers the release of dipicolinic acid and cations from the spore core and their replacement by water. Bacillus subtilis spores contain three functional germinant receptors encoded by the gerA, gerB, and gerK operons. The GerA germi...
Since seed reserves can influence seed germination, the quantitative and qualitative differences in seed reserves may relate to the germination characteristics of species. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the correlation between germination and seed reserves, as well as their mobilization during germination of six grassland species (Chloris virgata, Kochia scoparia, Lespedeza hedysaroid...
Bacterial endospores through their strong resistance to both chemical and physical hurdles constitute a risk for food industry. Inactivation strategies are based on thermal and/or chemical treatments but rely on incomplete knowledge of the mechanisms of inactivation. Alternative strategies were suggested to achieve food safety while improving product quality. One of them relies on the successiv...
Seed germination strategies vary dramatically among species but relatively little is known about how germination traits correlate with other elements of plant strategy systems. Understanding drivers of germination strategy is critical to our understanding of the evolutionary biology of plant reproduction.We present a novel assessment of seed germination strategies focussing on Australian alpine...
