[HTML][HTML] Alleviating dormancy in Brassica oleracea seeds using NO and KAR1 with ethylene biosynthetic pathway, ROS and antioxidant enzymes modifications

Background Seed dormancy is a prevailing condition in which seeds are unable to
germinate, even under favorable environmental conditions. Harvested Brassica oleracea
(Chinese cabbage) seeds are dormant and normally germinate (poorly) at 21° C. This study
investigated the connections between ethylene, nitric oxide (NO), and karrikin 1 (KAR1) in
the dormancy release of secondary dormant Brassica oleracea seeds. Results NO and
KAR1 were found to induce seed germination, and stimulated the production of ethylene …
