Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Ethylene promoted radicle emergence.
- Intervention effect ACC promoted radicle emergence.
- Intervention effect ABA inhibited seed radicle emergence but scarcely affected fruits.
- Observation Endogenous ACC and ABA in dry mature fruits declined early during imbibition.
- Intervention effect ABA treatment induced seed ACC accumulation.
- Intervention effect ACC treatment did not affect seed ABA content.
- Observation ACO and CYP707A transcripts accumulated during imbibition.
- Intervention effect ABA, ACC and pericarp did not affect seed CYP707A transcripts.
- Intervention effect ABA promoted seed ACO transcript accumulation.
- Intervention effect Pericarp removal promoted seed ACO transcript accumulation.
- Intervention effect ACC did not promote seed ACO transcripts.
- Mechanism An embryo-mediated ABA extrusion system keeps seed ABA content low.
- Mechanism The pericarp restricts ACC leaching during imbibition.
- Mechanism Radicle emergence appears controlled by pericarp, hormone leaching and ABA–ethylene antagonism.
