Germination and storage protein mobilisation of Trifolium subterraneum Var 45C seeds under hypoxic treatment
2007
International audience; The rate, speed and latency period of germination were defined for seeds of Trifolium subterraneum variety 45 C. The latency period was 12 hours on distilled water. The hypoxic stress was applied at the beginning (T12) and the end of latency period (T24). It consists on the addition of nitrogen (N2) under 1 bar pressure in hermetically closed boxes during 2 hours. The germination of treated seeds was then assessed on distilled water. The germination test during hypoxic treatment showed that the hypoxic stress delayed germination, slowing down its speed and decreasing the final percentage of germinated seeds. In order to better understand this depressive effect observ…
Nitric oxide: a multitask player in plant–microorganism symbioses
2016
Symbiosis is a close and often long-term interaction between two different biological organisms, i.e. plants or fungi and microorganisms. Two main types of plant–microorganism interactions, mutualistic and cooperative, have been categorized. Mutualistic interactions, including nitrogen-fixing and mycorrhizal symbioses, refer to mostly obligate relationships between a host plant and a symbiont microorganism. Cooperative interactions correspond to less obligate and specific relationships. They involve microorganisms, referred to as plant growth-promoting rhizobia (PGPR), able to colonize root surface or inner tissues. Lichens are symbiotic associations of host fungi and photosynthetic partner…
