Comparative transcriptome analysis of the effects of friction and exogenous gibberellin on germination in Abrus cantoniensis.

ABSTRACT: The seeds of Abrus cantoniensis (A. cantonensis) have dormancy characteristics with very low germination under natural conditions. In general, its seed dormancy could be broken by friction or soaking with exogenous gibberellins (GA₃). To date, the molecular mechanism underlying the effects of GA₃ and friction on its seed germination is unclear. In this study, we tested the effects of different treatments, including soaking in sterile water (G1), friction (G2), soaking in GA₃ (G3), combined treatment of friction, and GA₃ (G4)) on seed germination. Then, we have investigated the seed transcriptome profiles corresponding to the different treatments by RNA sequencing. The results showed that seed germination was significantly increased
