Transcription profiling of Arabdiopsis wild type and G'4-3 seeds grown with different nitrate concentrations to investigate effects on seed dormancy

ABSTRACT: Freshly harvested Arabidopsis seeds (ecotype Col0 obtained under 10 mM nitrate nutrition, referred to as C10 seeds) are dormant and do not germinate when sown on an agarose-based medium. However, when C10 seeds are sown on 10mM nitrate or when Col0 mother plants are grown on 50 mM nitrate (referred to as C50 seeds), the produced seeds are non dormant and germinate readily on agarose. The G’4-3 arabidopsis mutant which is impaired in nitrate assimilation and accumulates nitrate produces likewise non dormant seeds when grown on 10mM nitrate (referred to as G’4-3 seeds). The goals of these experiments are to better understand the effects of nitrate feeding of mother plants on the produced seed dormancy.
