Abstract Primary seed dormancy is an adaptive strategy that prevents germination for viable seeds in harsh environment, ensuring seeds germination under
favorable condition. Accurately inducing seeds germination in a controllable manner is important for crop production. Thus searching the chemicals that efficiently
breaks seed dormancy is valuable. DOG1 protein abundance in the freshly harvested seed is high, and its level is correlated to seed dormancy intensity, thus
DOG1 is regarded as the timer to evaluate the seed dormancy degree. In this
study, we found the carbon monoxide (CO) donor treatment, the transgenic line
with high CO… More >
