Seed Imbibition and Metabolism Contribute Differentially to Initial Assembly of the Soybean Holobiont.
Seed germination critically determines successful plant establishment and agricultural productivity. In the plant holobiont's life cycle, seeds are hubs for microbial communities’ assembly, but what exactly shapes the holobiont during germination remains unknown. Here, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing characterized the bacterial communities in embryonic compartments (cotyledons and axes) and...Gerna, Davide ; Clara, David ; Antonielli, Livio ; Mitter, Birgit ; Roach, Thomas

Does oxygen affect ageing mechanisms of Pinus densiflora seeds? A matter of cytoplasmic physical state.
During desiccation, the cytoplasm of orthodox seeds solidifies into an intracellular glass with highly restricted diffusion and molecular mobility. Temperature and water content govern seed ageing rates, while oxygen (O2) can promote deteriorative reactions. However, whether the cytoplasmic physical state affects involvement of O2 in seed ageing remains unresolved. We...
