Transcriptome Analysis of <i>Onobrychis viciifolia</i> During Seed Germination Reveals GA₃-Inducible Genes Associated with Phenylpropanoid and Hormone Pathways.

ABSTRACT: Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) is a type of leguminous plant with high feeding value. It contains a high concentration of tannins at all growth stages, which can precipitate soluble proteins and form a large number of persistent foams in the rumen, so that ruminant livestock will not develop dilatation disease during green feeding and grazing. The germination rate of O. viciifolia seeds is very low under natural conditions. The preliminary experiment showed that 600 mg/L GA₃ treatment significantly improved the germination rate and seed vitality of sainfoin seeds. In comparison to CK, GA₃ significantly decreased the relative content of endogenous inhibitors, with the most notable reduction observed in 4-nitroso-N-phenyl-benzenamine. Therefore, we selec
