Physiological and biochemical changes during the loss of desiccation tolerance in germinating Adenanthera pavonina L. seeds.
We investigated the loss of desiccation tolerance (DT) in Adenanthera pavonina seeds during germination. Seeds were subjected to imbibition for 0, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 81 h, then dried to their initial moisture content (13%), rehydrated and evaluated for survival (resumption of growth and development of normal seedlings) and membrane system integrity (electrolyte leakage). Embryonic axes of seeds...
متن کاملThe oil of Adenanthera pavonina L. seeds and its emulsions.
The oil of Adenanthera pavonina L. seeds was analysed by chromatographic and instrumental means. The oil was found to be rich in neutral lipids (86.2%), and low in polar lipids (13.8%). The neutral lipids consisted mainly of triacylglycerols (64.2%). Unsaturated fatty acids were found as high as 71%, while the percentage of saturated fatty acids was only 29%. GC and GC/MS analyses revealed lino...
متن کاملDesiccation tolerance in the moss Polytrichum formosum: physiological and fine-structural changes during desiccation and recovery.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study explores basic physiological features and time relations of recovery of photosynthetic activity and CO(2) uptake following rehydration of a desiccation-tolerant moss in relation to the full temporal sequence of cytological changes associated with recovery to the normal hydrated state. It seeks reconciliation of the apparently conflicting published physiological an...
متن کاملExpression of chitinase in Adenanthera pavonina seedlings.
Chitinases (EC 3.2.1.14) are hydrolytic enzymes found in different organisms. In plants, they have been described in different tissues and organs, including seeds. This study was triggered by the isolation of a 30-kDa thermostable chitinase from Adenanthera pavonina L. seeds. The enzyme was submitted to N-terminal amino acid sequencing, and the analysis revealed a high degree of homology with c...
متن کاملLoss of desiccation tolerance in Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. seeds during germination.
This study evaluated the loss of desiccation tolerance in C. langsdorffii seeds during the germination process. Seeds were imbibed for 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 and 144 hours and dried to the initial moisture content, kept in this state for 3 days after which they were submitted to pre-humidification and rehydration. Ultraestructural evaluations were done aiming to observe the cell damage caused by t...
