The investigation established the possibility of production of maize embryo in culture of isolated caryopsis on artificial nutrient medium in vitro conditions from a zygote / proembryo and globular stage up to the full maturity. It was determined that the cultivation of caryopsis on artificial nutrient medium provides the accumulation of starch in endosperm. The internal state of cultured caryopsis can be considered as a marker of embryo upgrowing and starch accumulation in endosperm, irrespective of the genotype. The genotype, the age of cultured caryopsis and concentration of sucrose influence on the development of endosperm, accumulation of starch in endosperm and embryo upgrowing from the zygote / proembryo and globular stage.

Three different DNA polymerase activities can be separated from germinating maize axes through DEAE – cellulose chromatography. Of these, DNA polymerase 2 appears to be a replicative-type enzyme composed of several subunits. An antibody has been developed against the DNA polymerase 2 multisubunit complex, which mainly recognizes a polypeptide of molecular weight around 90 kDa. Polypeptides of molecular mass of 83, 70, 60, 55, 45, and 24 kDa are also recognized. Activity gels showed that the 90-kDa polypeptide possesses catalytic activity. DNA polymerases 1 and 3 are not recognized by the antibody and their activities are not reduced. However, DNA polymerase 2 activity is reduced by 70%. The nature of the different DNA polymerase accompanying subunits is discussed. Key words: DNA polymerases, maize embryo axes.

Abstract BackgroundHeterosis has been extensively utilization in plant breeding, however, the underlying molecular mechanism remain largely elusive. Maize (Zea mays), which exhibits strong heterosis, is an ideal material for studying heterosis.ResultsIn this study, there is a faster imbibition and development in reciprocal crossing Zhengdan958 hybrids than in their parent lines during seed germination. To investigate the mechanism of heterosis of maize germination, comparative transcriptomic analyses was conducted between reciprocal crossing hybrids and their parental lines. The gene expression patterns showed that 1324 (47.27%) and 1592 (66.44%) of the different expression genes between hybrids and either parental line display parental dominance up or higher levels in Zhengdan958 and Zhengdan958 reciprocal-cross, respectively. Notably, these genes were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways, including carbon metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, etc.ConclusionOur results provide evidence for the higher expression level genes in hybrid involved in metabolic pathways acting as main contributors to maize seed germinating heterosis. These findings provide new insights into the gene expression variation of maize embryo and improve the understanding of maize seed germination heterosis.
