Interaction of carbon dioxide and ethylene in overcoming thermodormancy of lettuce seeds.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The combination of ethylene with CO(2) will completely overcome the thermodormancy of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) seeds at 35 C. This combination is effective if it is added to seeds either at the start or after several days of imbibition. The action of ethylene is dependent upon the CO(2) level present in the atmosphere surrounding the seeds. When CO(2) is trapped by KOH the ethylene effect is essentially nil.

The role of phytochrome in an interaction with ethylene and carbon dioxide in overcoming lettuce seed thermodormancy.
Ethylene and CO(2) were used to control induction of germination in thermodormant lettuce seed (Lactuca sativa L.). These experiments ultimately showed that germination depends on the presence of an active form of the phytochrome. The phytochrome system is functional and stable at 35 C, a temperature which completely inhibits germination. Phytochrome responses to red or far red light and darkne...
متن کاملStimulation of lettuce seed germination by ethylene.
Ethylene increased the germination of freshly imbibed lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. Grand Rapids) seeds. Seeds receiving either red or far-red light or darkness all showed a positive response to the gas. However, ethylene was apparently without effect on dormant seeds, those which failed to germinate after an initial red or far-red treatment. Carbon dioxide, which often acts as a competitive ...
متن کاملReversal 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 کاملMechanism of seed priming in circumventing thermodormancy in lettuce.
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv Minetto) seeds were primed in aerated solutions of 1% K(3)PO(4) or water at 15 degrees C in the dark for various periods of time to determine the manner by which seed priming bypasses thermodormancy. Seeds which were not primed did not germinate at 35 degrees C, whereas those which were primed for 20 h in 1% K(3)PO(4) or distilled H(2)O had up to 86% germination. T...

The thermoinhibition at 35 and 32 degrees C of pregermination ethylene production and germination in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv Mesa 659) seeds was synergistically or additively alleviated by 0.05 millimolar kinetin (KIN) and 10 millimolar 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). The synergistic effect of KIN + ACC on ethylene production and germination at 35 degrees C was inhibited by C...
