Project description:To establish the basis for understanding molecular mechanism of seed germination response to temperature, we analyzed transcriptomes in freshly harvested dormant and dry stored after-ripened seeds. The after-ripened seeds started to show visible germination from 36h after the start of imbibition, and almost all the seeds germinated after 3 days. The freshly harvested seeds stayed dormant by imbibition at 26°C, and germination of the after-ripened seeds was almost completely inhibited at 34°C. Total RNA was prepared from 0 (dry), 6 and 24h imbibed seeds to find regulatory genes of seed dormancy and germination.

Project description:Wheat seed dormancy is released by after-ripening, and germination and seminal root growth of after-ripened/non-dormant seeds can be inhibited by treatment with exogenous ABA. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome Array to detail transcriptional programs affected by after-ripening of dormant seeds and imbibition of after-ripened seeds in ABA.

Project description:In most plants, germination begins with the reactivation of metabolism during water uptake by the desiccated seed. Notably, Pol II transcription is hypothesised not to be required for early germination, as seeds appear to initially rely on stored mRNAs produced during their maturation. Here, we show that efficient blocking of Pol II transcription completely stops germination in Arabidopsis seeds. Pol II activity is initiated early and is widespread, following expression and Pol II binding patterns established during seed drying. Our findings suggest that the earliest transcriptional phase relies on pre-existing protein factors. The transcriptional programme initiated during water uptake is robust across diverse imbibition conditions and in seeds matured at different temperatures, and is conserved in rapeseed (Brassica napus). Only after the successful completion of this initial phase and the passing of the translation-dependent checkpoint do seeds activate genes that lead to germination. Our results redefine the role of transcription in seed germination and highlight a conserved pattern of early transcriptional activation.
