Explain the role of CK (6-benzylaminopurine) in mitigating heat stress effects on seed development in winter wheat cultivars.
Explain the role of CK (6-benzylaminopurine) in mitigating heat stress effects on seed development in winter wheat cultivars.
CKs likely play a crucial role in legume seed development, and heat stress may reduce seed CK levels, impacting seed cell number and growth rate.
Describe the impact of Gibberellins (GAs) on seed size and abortion in seed development.
Describe the impact of Gibberellins (GAs) on seed size and abortion in seed development.
Gibberellins (GAs) coordinate growth and development in seed development, with GA biosynthesis mutants showing reduced seed size and increased seed abortion.
How are GA levels regulated during seed growth, development, and maturation, and what effect do they have on seed coat growth and embryo growth?
How are GA levels regulated during seed growth, development, and maturation, and what effect do they have on seed coat growth and embryo growth?
GA biosynthesis and catabolism are tightly regulated during seed growth, development, and maturation, with GA levels affecting seed coat growth, sink strength, and embryo growth.

Study Notes
Plant Hormones and Heat Stress in Seed Development
- CK (6-benzylaminopurine) treatment mitigated heat stress effects on grain fill rate, endosperm division rate, endosperm cell number, and 1000 grain weight in winter wheat cultivars.
- CKs likely play a crucial role in legume seed development, and heat stress may reduce seed CK levels, impacting seed cell number and growth rate.
- Gibberellins (GAs) coordinate growth and development in seed development, with GA biosynthesis mutants showing reduced seed size and increased seed abortion.
- GA biosynthesis and catabolism are tightly regulated during seed growth, development, and maturation, with GA levels affecting seed coat growth, sink strength, and embryo growth.
- GAs function to promote growth in plant organs by promoting cell elongation and division, and reducing bioactive GA levels allows plants to suppress growth under stress.
- Ethylene production modulation is an important mechanism for reducing growth rate as a plant response to abiotic stresses like heat stress, salinity, and water deficit.
- Ethylene can cause senescence and abscission of plant organs, and can protect against heat stress-induced oxidative damage by activating oxidative defenses.
- Heat stress can increase ethylene levels, leading to reduced photosynthesis, grain filling rates, and embryo abortion in wheat, affecting kernel weight and survival rate.
- The application of 1-methylcyclopropene, an inhibitor of ethylene perception, can suppress heat stress-induced kernel abortion and reduction in kernel weight.
- Abscisic acid (ABA) is involved in the regulation of maturation, desiccation tolerance, and dormancy in seeds, with two peaks of ABA accumulation during seed development in many species.
- The effect of heat stress on GA-regulated legume fruit and seed developmental processes has not been explored.
- The effect of heat stress on ethylene-related growth processes during legume seed development remains to be explored.
