  • Life Cycles of Plants
    Life Cycles of Plants Flowering plants produce flowers. The flowers later become fruit. Inside the fruit, we can find seeds. The fruit protect the seeds. Seeds can develop into new plants. The life cycle of flowering plants follows the three stages of seed-seedling-adult. Seed Seedling (Young plant) Stage 1: The plant begins Stage 2: The young plant that grows is known as a its life as a seed. With seedling. enough air, food, water and the right temperature, At first, the seedling obtains its food from the seed the seed will begin to leaves. germinate or grow. When the true leaves start to grow, the plant is ready to make its own food by the process of photosynthesis. The seed leaves will shrivel and fall off. Roots grow deep down into the ground to obtain water and mineral salts needed for the plant. The plant will grow towards the sunlight. The shoot grows upwards to obtain maximum sunlight. When the true leaves appear, the plant is ready to make its own food. Seed leaves provide the plant with food before the true leaves develop. Roots grow downwards to absorb water and mineral salts from the ground. They hold the plant firmly in the soil. Adult plant Stage 3: As the plant grows, it develops flowers which later become fruit. There are seeds inside the fruit. The seeds will fall to the ground and develop into new plants. The life cycle then repeats itself.

Abstract: The transition from a dormant to a germinating seed represents a crucial developmental switch in the life cycle of a plant. Subsequent transition from a germinating seed to an autotrophic organism also requires a robust and multi-layered control. Seed germination and seedling growth are multistep processes, involving both internal and external signals, which lead to a fine-tuning control network. In recent years, numerous studies have contributed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes: from light signaling and light-hormone crosstalk to the effects of abiotic stresses, from epigenetic regulation to translational control. However, there are still many open questions and molecular elements to be identified. This review will focus on the different aspects of the molecular control of seed dormancy and germination, pointing out new molecular elements and how these integrate in the signaling pathways already known.

  • Arabidopsis Seed Germination Speed Is Controlled by SNL Histone Deacetylase-Binding Factor-Mediated Regulation of AUX1
    ARTICLE Received 20 Sep 2015 | Accepted 30 Sep 2016 | Published 11 Nov 2016 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms13412 OPEN Arabidopsis seed germination speed is controlled by SNL histone deacetylase-binding factor-mediated regulation of AUX1 Zhi Wang1, Fengying Chen1, Xiaoying Li1,2, Hong Cao1, Meng Ding1,2, Cun Zhang1,2, Jinghong Zuo1,2, Chaonan Xu1,2, Jimei Xu1,2, Xin Deng3, Yong Xiang4, Wim J.J. Soppe4,5 & Yongxiu Liu1 Histone acetylation is known to affect the speed of seed germination, but the molecular regulatory basis of this remains ambiguous. Here we report that loss of function of two histone deacetylase-binding factors, SWI-INDEPENDENT3 (SIN3)-LIKE1 (SNL1) and SNL2, results in accelerated radicle protrusion and growth during seed germination. AUXIN RESISTANT 1 (AUX1) is identified as a key factor in this process, enhancing germination speed downstream of SNL1 and SNL2. AUX1 expression and histone H3 acetylation at lysines 9 and 18 is regulated by SNL1 and SNL2. The D-type cyclins encoding genes CYCD1;1 and CYCD4;1 display increased expression in AUX1 over-expression lines and the snl1snl2 double mutant. Accordingly, knockout of CYCD4;1 reduces seed germination speed of AUX1 over-expression lines and snl1snl2 suggesting the importance of cell cycling for radicle protrusion during seed germination. Together, our work identifies AUX1 as a link between histone acetylation mediated by SNL1 and SNL2, and radicle growth promoted by CYCD1;1 and CYCD4;1 during seed germination. 1 Key Laboratory of Plant Molecular Physiology, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100093, China. 2 College of Life Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China.

[email protected] ABSTRACT: The paper presents the results of studies on morphological characters, seed germination and the influence of different concentrations of plant growth substances on Phaseolus mungo including the comparative growth patterns of the seedlings. Seeds were pre-soaked for 24h under the various concentrations (0.1, 1.0 and 10 ppm) of GA3, IBA and NAA. Soaked seeds were arranged in sterilized petriplates lined with filter paper for germination at thermostatically controlled seed germinator. A control set was soaked only in distilled water. Observations were taken in 16 hrs light and 8 hrs dark at 25±2°C conditions. The mean value of germination percentage, growth of root, shoot and cotyledonary expansion and biomass of seedlings were computed. The highest percentage of germination was recorded when seeds were treated with 0.1ppm concentration of IBA while 1ppm concentration of IBA resulted in highest root length. The fresh and dry weight of shoots increased with GA3 treatment. GA3 10 ppm showed highest shoot length and cotyledonary expansion and highest biomass production in the form of root dry weight.

  • Seedling ID Guide for Native Prairie Plants
    ABOUT THE GUIDE The goal of this guide is to help identify native plants at various stages of growth. Color photos illustrate seed, seedling, juvenile, and flowering stages, in addition to a distinguishing characteristic. Brief text provides additional identification help. Images of the seedling stage depict the appearance of a single cotyledon (first leaf) in grasses and a pair of cotyledons in broad- leaved plants, followed by photos of the first true leaves within three weeks of growth in a controlled environment. Images of the juvenile stage portray the continued development of a seedling with more fully formed leaves within the first eight weeks of shoot development . Images of the distinguishing characteristics show a specific biological feature representative of the plant. Please note that seed images do not represent the actual size of the seed. The scale is in 1/16-inch increments.
