Abscisic Acid Inhibition of Radicle Emergence But Not Seedling Growth Is Suppressed by Sugars

Open access
Finkelstein, Ruth R., Lynch, Tim J.·2000·Plant Physiology

Abstract

Low concentrations of sugars altered the sensitivity of seed germination to inhibition by exogenous abscisic acid (ABA). Germination of wild-type and ABA-insensitive (abi) Arabidopsis seeds was assayed on media containing ABA and a variety of sugars and sugar alcohols. The inhibitory effects of ABA were strongly repressed in the presence of 15 to 90 mm glucose (Glc), sucrose, or fructose, but not by comparable concentrations of sorbitol or mannitol. Several features of the response to Glc are inconsistent with a purely nutritional effect: The optimal sugar concentration is low and differs between the wild type and the abi mutants. Furthermore, Glc suppression of ABA inhibition is light dependent and limited to the process of radicle emergence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
