Summary: The study revealed that PRT6 plays a role in ethylene-induced dormancy release in Arabidopsis thaliana seeds, with RAPs acting downstream of PRT6 and HREs acting upstream. Ethylene promotes germination by down-regulating dormancy-related genes in the GA and ABA signaling pathways, while the insensitivity of prt6 seeds to ethylene is mainly due to disturbances in GA signaling.

Summary: This study reports on the influence of testa and endosperm on seed germination of the caper shrub, as well as the effect of gibberellic acid (GA(3)) solutions in breaking seed dormancy. The best germination results were observed with seeds devoid of testa wetted with water and intact seeds wetted with a GA(3) solution. GA(3) addition increased endogenous gibberellin content and the GA/abscisic acid ratio, promoting seed germination. Germination of caper seeds involved testa cracking and endosperm piercing, with puncture force decreasing during imbibition and remaining constant until testa cracking occurred.

Summary: This study revealed that brassinosteroids induce seed germination in Arabidopsis by promoting the rupture of seed coat and endosperm, while two key basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, HBI1 and BEE2, are involved in the regulation of this process. Furthermore, HBI1 and BEE2 promote the expression of the GA-Stimulated Arabidopsis 6 (GASA6) gene, which plays a role in GA and BR signaling, thus outlining a regulatory module controlling seed germination in Arabidopsis.

Summary: This study investigated the remodeling of Arabidopsis seed phosphoproteome during imbibition using stable isotope dimethyl labeling and nanoLC-MS/MS analysis. The study identified a large repertoire of phosphopeptides and phosphoproteins involved in seed germination control, including protein kinases and key regulators like DOG1. Gene ontology analysis revealed their involvement in various biological processes. The study provides evidence of the major role of phosphosignaling in the regulation of Arabidopsis seed germination.

Summary: The root parasitic plant Striga hermonthica senses strigolactones from host plants to germinate. It has been found that the plant hormone gibberellins increase the sensitivity of Striga seeds to strigolactones by up-regulating the expression of strigolactone receptors. This reveals the indirect role of gibberellins in seed germination in Striga compared to their dominant role in non-parasitic plants.

Summary: CLE42 is a negative regulator of leaf senescence, and overexpression of CLE42 can delay leaf senescence. CLE42 and CLE41/44 have functional redundancy in leaf senescence. CLE42 regulates leaf senescence by suppressing the ethylene pathway.

Summary: Suaeda edulis, a halophile species, faces difficulties in germination and reproduction in saline environments. The application of a plant-growth bioregulator containing gibberellins improved germination in vitro. The optimal dose of gibberellins was found to be 25 mg L-1, resulting in the highest germination percentage and rate at 48 hours.

Summary: In this study, it was found that S-adenosylmethionine synthase regulates plant floral organ development through DNA demethylation and ethylene signaling pathway. DNA demethylation enhances ethylene biosynthesis, leading to abnormal floral organ development. The crosstalk between SAMS-mediated methylation and ethylene signaling may play a crucial role in the process of floral organ development.

Summary: The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) regulates seed maturation, dormancy, and germination under stress conditions. ABA-IMPORTING TRANSPORTER 1.1 (AIT1.1) in tomato is involved in radicle emergence under salinity. AIT1.1 upregulation after seed imbibition promotes ABA uptake, restricts endosperm weakening, and enhances resistance to ABA. The ait1.1 mutant shows improved germination and partial resistance to ABA under high salinity, suggesting its potential use in improving seed germination in crops.

Summary: It is discovered that cold plasma treatment can alleviate seed dormancy, especially for seeds with high water content or heated seeds. Differential scanning micro-calorimetry indicates that the glassy/rubbery state of seed cytoplasm affects the efficacy of cold plasma treatment.

Summary: Desiccation tolerance is a key adaptation feature of photoautotrophic organisms in terrestrial habitats. Vascular plants have developed complex anatomy structures and molecular mechanisms to maintain cell hydration, with different genes encoding mechanisms playing varying roles in different stages of plant evolution.Mechanisms behind desiccation tolerance include LEA proteins, sHSP, oligosaccharides, and antioxidants, activated during late seed maturation stage. Regulation is controlled by abscisic acid and protein DOG1, along with a network of transcription factors and epigenetic regulation.

Summary: DOF6 induces MLP329 expression to enhance primary seed dormancy in Arabidopsis via a high ABA/GA ratio, and this is suppressed by RGL2 in a negative-feedback mechanism to regulate dormancy. MLP329 probably enhances the endogenous ABA/GA ratio to positively regulate primary seed dormancy.
