Mycoheterotrophic germination of Pyrola asarifolia dust seeds reveals convergences with germination in orchids.

Dust seeds that germinate by obtaining nutrients from symbiotic fungi have evolved independently in orchids and 11 other plant lineages. The fungi involved in this 'mycoheterotrophic' germination have been identified in some orchids and non-photosynthetic Ericaceae, and proved identical to mycorrhizal fungi of adult plants. We investigated a third lineage, the Pyroleae, chlorophyllous Ericaceae...

Germination and seedling establishment in orchids: a complex of requirements.

BACKGROUND Seedling recruitment is essential to the sustainability of any plant population. Due to the minute nature of seeds and early-stage seedlings, orchid germination in situ was for a long time practically impossible to observe, creating an obstacle towards understanding seedling site requirements and fluctuations in orchid populations. The introduction of seed packet techniques for sowin...

Mitochondrial Proteome Studies in Seeds during Germination.

Seed germination is considered to be one of the most critical phases in the plant life cycle, establishing the next generation of a plant species. It is an energy-demanding process that requires functioning mitochondria. One of the earliest events of seed germination is progressive development of structurally simple and metabolically quiescent promitochondria into fully active and cristae-conta...

Improving germination of Prunus avium L. seeds

To break dormancy and increase the germination of Prunus avium L. (mazzard cherry) seeds, various methods were tested including the removal of the seed coat after cold moist stratification and treatment with GA3, KNO3, or thiourea. Treatments with 7,500 ppm KNO3 after 120 days of stratification were more effective, yielding 64.54% germination of seeds with coat. In seeds without coat, 500 ppm G...

Lactone-germination Inhibitors from Cryptocarya Moschata Seeds

( )-Cryptocaryalactone (6-[2-acetoxY-4-phenyl-3-butenyl}5,6-dihydro-2-pyranone) and ()-deacetylcryptocaryalactone (6-[2-hydroxy-4-phenyl-3-butenyIJ-5,6-dihydro-2-pyranone) isolated from Cryptocarya moschata seeds are natural germination inhibitors. Applied at 0.004 M, the second compound completely arrested germination of velvetleaf (Abulilolllheophrasli) and decreased the germination rate of s...
