This study investigates the phenotypic diversity and genetic architecture of germination traits in 163 rice genotypes, using a genome-wide association studies (GWAS). An association panel of 163 diverse rice genotypes, including varieties, germplasm and breeding lines, was evaluated for seed germination traits over 2 years (2022 and 2023). The panel was genotyped using 295 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, including 80 random SSRs and 215 candidate gene SSRs linked to seed traits and morphological attributes. The genotyping of 163 lines with 295 markers revealed a range of genetic diversity, with polymorphic information content values between 0.04 and 0.93. Population structure analysis indicated the presence of two groups and four sub-groups. GWAS identified 80 significant marker-trait associations (MTAs) across 12 chromosomes at <span>P</span> ≤ 0.05, which narrow down to 18 MTAs at <span>P</span> ≤ 0.01. Twelve candidate genes are identified which were related with multiple traits, linked to important functions, such as seed-size regulation, nutrient mobilization and plant growth. Candidate gene-based SSR (cgSSR) markers such as M169 (OsMIK), M57 (THIS1), M66 (GW2), and M18 (OsBAK1), displayed pleiotropy including rapid and uniform germination (germination index, germination rate index and mean germination time) traits. The newly identified candidate gene markers associated with seed rapid and uniform germination traits can be leveraged in marker-assisted breeding programs to introduce diverse alleles for enhanced seed vigour and crop establishment.

Consequently, most seed researchers abruptly terminate germination experiments after radicle emergence, concluding that the seed has germinated. However, this approach underestimates epicotyl dormancy and often leads to dormancy misclassification, or worse, a failure to identify epicotyl dormancy altogether. To address these limitations, we propose extending germination studies to the point of first leaf emergence; we term this the “full germination” period. Our methodology involves germinating fully matured, freshly collected seeds and depending on the time required for radicle emergence, the seeds are categorized into (1) viviparous, where seeds germinate prematurely while they are still attached to the parent plant or within the fruit; (2) Morphological dormancy (MD) or Non-dormant (ND), where seeds germinate within 30 days; and (3) physiological dormancy (PD) and morphophysiological dormancy (MPD), where germination does not occur within 30 days. The absence of shoot emergence within 30 days following radicle protrusion indicates the presence of epicotyl dormancy. Thus, species initially classified as ND, MD, or viviparous may be miscategorized if shoot emergence is not assessed. Likewise, seeds exhibiting PD or MPD may possess an additional epicotyl dormancy component, possibly leading to placing them in incorrect subclass or level. A comprehensive assessment of shoot development is imperative for accurate dormancy characterization. We strongly recommend monitoring seed germination until first true leaf emergence should be adopted to ensure correct conclusions about dormancy, plant life cycles and ecological adaptations.</p>","PeriodicalId":21711,"journal":{"name":"Seed Science Research","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145032003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized that this difference in dormancy was the result of an epigenetic memory of vernalization. Global changes in DNA methylation of seeds were quantified using an ELISA-based approach. Imbibition in dormant seeds produced by vernalized plants was associated with a global demethylation event that was not observed in the offspring of plants that had not been vernalized.

Parthenolide (PN), inducing the ubiquitination of MDM2, an E3 ring-finger ubiquitin ligase, adversely affects the freezing tolerance of hydrated lettuce seeds. Therefore, a proteomics analysis was conducted to identify PN's targets in hydrated seeds exposed to cooling conditions. Several pathways, including oxidative phosphorylation (KEGG00190), amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism (KEGG00520), and biosynthesis of nucleotide sugars (KEGG01250), were enriched in the PN treatment under slow-cooling conditions (3°C h<span>−1</span>, <span>P</span> &lt; 0.05). Among the proteins in oxidative phosphorylation, the expression of <span>NADH dehydrogenases</span> and <span>ATP synthases</span> (<span>ATPsyn</span>) decreased in PN treatment. In contrast, <span>uncoupling proteins</span> increased after PN treatment, which led to the dissociation of the electron transport chain from ATP synthesis. Treatments with rotenone, dicoumarol, and oligomycin (i.e., oxidative phosphorylation inhibitors) decreased the survival rate of hydrated seeds under freezing conditions, which indicated that energy metabolism was related to the freezing tolerance of hydrated seeds. The predicted interactions between PN and MDM2-like proteins of <span>Lactuca</span> indicated that LsMDM2-5 forms two potential hydrogen bonds with PN. Furthermore, based on AlphaFold predictions and yeast 2-hybrid results, MDM2-5 might interact directly with NADH2. The knockdown of MDM2-5 by RNAi caused a higher level of <span>NADH2</span> and <span>ATPsyn</span> and a higher freezing tolerance of hydrated seeds. This indicated that MDM2 played negative roles in regulating ATP synthesis and freezing tolerance of hydrated seeds.</p>","PeriodicalId":21711,"journal":{"name":"Seed Science Research","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143191736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
