Aleurone layer which is a thin layer in cereal seeds plays a key role in seed germination. The barley (Hordeum vulgare) aleurone layer can be separated from the other seed tissues and maintained in culture medium, allowing the researchers to study different plant signals at molecular level. In the present study the expression of genes encoding ascorbate peroxidase (Apx), Apx1 and Apx2, was an...
