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

Pericarp structure of Glebionis coronaria (L.) Cass. ex Spach (Asteraceae) cypselae controls water uptake during germination.
(L.) Cass. ex Spach is a common Mediterranean weed producing distinctive central and peripheral dormant cypselae with a hard fruit coat, which was previously hypothesized to impose physical dormancy. Analysis of water uptake in cypselae and in naked seeds showed that it preferentially takes place at the basal end of...Garland chrysanthemum, Heterocarpy, Imbibition, Pericarp constraint, Glebionis coronaria, Germination, and Dormancy
