Abstract In flowering plants, repression of the seed maturation program is essential for the transition from the seed to the vegetative phase, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. The B3-domain protein VIVIPAROUS1/ABSCISIC ACID-INSENSITIVE3-LIKE 1 (VAL1) is involved in repressing the seed maturation program. Here we uncovered a molecular network triggered by the plant hormone brassinosteroid (BR) that inhibits the seed maturation program during the seed-to-seedling transition in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). val1-2 mutant seedlings treated with a BR biosynthesis inhibitor form embryonic structures, whereas BR signaling gain-of-function mutations rescue the embryonic structure trait. Furthermore, the BR-activated transcription factors BRI1-EMS-SUPPRESSOR 1 and BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT 1 bind directly to the promoter of AGAMOUS-LIKE15 (AGL15), which encodes a transcription factor involved in activating the seed maturation program, and suppress its expression. Genetic analysis indicated that BR signaling is epistatic to AGL15 and represses the seed maturation program by downregulating AGL15. Finally, we showed that the BR-mediated pathway functions synergistically with the VAL1/2-mediated pathway to ensure the full repression of the seed maturation program. Together, our work uncovered a mechanism underlying the suppression of the seed maturation program, shedding light on how BR promotes seedling growth.

Extracts from oat husks inhibit germination of a variety of seeds including Avena sativa L., Sorghum spec., Phalleris spec., Raphanus spec., Amaranthus caudatus, Lepidium sativum L. A quantitative assay for this inhibition was developed on the basis of percentage of root growth of Avena in the presence of extracted material compared with root growth of water controls. Fractionation of the extracts revealed that about half of the total inhibitory activity was found in the fraction of free organic acids. The inhibition was not due to known inhibitors. Abscisic acid. was not found in this extract. Phenole carbonic acids were determined in the extract. Their con­centration was too low to significantly contribute to the observed inhibitory activity.

The concentration of growth and germination inhibitors in achenes from seedlings of R. rugosa Thunberg is reduced through leaching. Leaching of achenes for 24 hr before stratification increased the germination but the effect of leaching was not always significant. The presence of inhibitors was indicated between Rf 0.3–0.4 and Rf 0.7–0.9 by the retarding effect on radicle elongation of cress seeds (Lepidium sativum L. cult Moss Curled) when extracts of achenes were developed on ascending paper chromatograms (isopropanol:ammonia:water, 10:1:1, v/v). Changed concentrations of the inhibitor between Rf 0.7 and 0.9 from different after-ripening treatments did affect the germination of the achenes but the changed concentrations of the inhibitor between Rf 0.3 and 0.4 did not. Presumably, the inhibitor between Rf 0.7 and 0.9 was abscisic acid. Warm–cold treatments promoted germination more effectively than cold treatments. The most effective treatment was 4 weeks at 20 C and 8 weeks at 4 C. Both cold and warm–cold after-ripening seemed to promote germination through a reduction of growth inhibitors. Inhibitors do not control the germination of rose achenes exclusively because: (a) leaching reduced the concentration of inhibitors but it did not induce germination without after-ripening treatments; (b) partial after-ripening for 4 weeks at 20 C also reduced the concentration of inhibitors but it did not induce germination unless it was followed by an after-ripening period of 4 C; (c) after-ripened achenes germinated in spite of inhibitors.
