This work explores the spatiotemporal presence of CyclinD2s and KRPs, cell cycle regulators, during maize seed germination (18 and 36 h) after soaking on glucose or sucrose<span> (120 mM). CyclinD2s are positive actors driving proliferation; KRPs are inhibitors of the main kinase controlling proliferation (a negative signal that slows down the cell cycle). Cell cycle proteins were analyzed by immunolocalization on longitudinal sections of maize </span></span></span>embryo axis<span> in seven different tissues or zones (with different proliferation or differentiation potential) and in the nucleus of their cells. Results showed a prevalence of these cell cycle proteins on embryo axes from dry seeds, particularly, their accumulation in nuclei of radicle cells. The absence of sugar caused the accumulation of these regulators in different proliferating zones. CyclinD2 abundance was reduced during germination in the presence of sucrose along the embryo axis, while there was an increase at 36 h on glucose. KRP proteins showed a slight increase at 18 h and a decrease at 36 h on both sugars. There was no correlation between cell cycle regulators/DNA co-localization on both sugars. Results suggest glucose induced a specific accumulation of each cell cycle regulator depending on the proliferation zone as well as nuclear localization which may reflect the differential morphogenetic program regarding the proliferation potential in each zone, while sucrose has a mild influence on both cell cycle proteins accumulation during germination. Whenever CycD2s were present in the nucleus, KRPs were absent after treatment with either sugar and at the two imbibition times analyzed, along the different embryo axe zones.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":6961,"journal":{"name":"Acta histochemica","volume":"125 7","pages":"Article 152092"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10284982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
