Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Normal environmental conditions induced germination of yellow-seeded wheat.
- Intervention effect Under chilling conditions the germination ratio of deep purple wheat seeds was higher than that of yellow seeds.
- Intervention effect Darker seed coat colors were highly responsive to cold acclimation in ROS scavenging enzyme activity.
- Intervention effect Darker seed coat colors were highly responsive to cold acclimation in expression of ROS scavenging, flavonoid biosynthetic pathway and cold responsive genes.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that deep purple colored seed might be in an innate pre-acquired stress response state under normal conditions.
- Intervention effect The authors suggest that after acclimation another stress should enhance the cold gene expression response, possibly giving a more efficient chilling response in deep purple seed seedlings.
