Regulatory roles of GA and sugar metabolism genes with metabolomic profiling during seed dormancy release in Gleditsia sinensis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gleditsia sinensis is a significant economic and ecological tree species in Guizhou Province, offering high economic value and substantial development opportunities. Reproduction of G. sinensis primarily involves seed propagation, requiring a yearly supply of high-quality seeds for production. Nonetheless, seeds are characterised by a hard and dormant composition, and the precise molecular mechanism behind dormancy release remains unclear. This study conducted physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses on G. sinensis seeds at different stages of low-temperature stratification to elucidate the molecular regulatory mechanisms involved in seed dormancy release.

Results

The content of soluble protein gradually decreases during the stratification and germi
