Reversal of induced dormancy in lettuce by ethylene, kinetin, and gibberellic Acid.
The germination of lettuce seeds (Lactuca sativa L., cv. Premier Great Lakes) was significantly inhibited by high temperature (32 C), 0.1 mM abscisic acid or 0.4 M mannitol. Ethylene (16 mul/1 of air) partially reversed the dormancy induced by all three inhibitors but only in the presence of 1 mM gibberellic acid (GA) or light. Neither ethylene plus GA nor ethylene plus light were able to promo...
متن کاملLettuce seed germination: modulation of pregermination protein synthesis by gibberellic Acid, abscisic Acid, and cytokinin.
Protein synthesis in gibberellin-treated lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seeds has been studied during the lag phase between the beginning of imbibition and the first signs of radicle protrusion. When compared to the water-imbibed controls, both polyribosome populations and radioactive leucine incorporation into protein increase in the embryos of GA(3)- induced seeds early in the imbibition period. Si...
متن کاملGrowth and gibberellin a(1) metabolism in excised lettuce hypocotyls.
Excised lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Arctic) hypocotyls retain the ability to elongate in response to exogenously supplied gibberellic acid and gibberellin A(1) (GA(1)). We have studied the relationship between metabolism of GA(1) and elongation in this tissue. In 24 hours at 28 C, hypocotyls treated with 3 mum GA(1) double in length while controls elongate less than 45%. After an exogenous h...
متن کاملCell elongation in Arabidopsis hypocotyls involves dynamic changes in cell wall thickness.
Field-emission scanning electron microscopy was used to measure wall thicknesses of different cell types in freeze-fractured hypocotyls of Arabidopsis thaliana. Measurements of uronic acid content, wall mass, and wall volume suggest that cell wall biosynthesis in this organ does not always keep pace with, and is not always tightly coupled to, elongation. In light-grown hypocotyls, walls thicken...
متن کاملMode of action of gibberellic Acid and light on lettuce seed germination.
The seeds of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Grand Rapids) germinate in darkness at 25 C when treated by gibberellic acid (GA(3)) for 1 hour following 2 hours of imbibition. The time of GA(3) application influences the rate and the final percentage of seeds that germinate. In contrast, red light illumination given at different times affects only the rate and not the final germination percentage....
