MyA inhibits endosperm weakening


Fig. 3.    The effect of myrigalone A (MyA) and abscisic acid (ABA) on the endosperm weakening and rupture of germinating Lepidium sativum seeds incubated in continuous white light.

(A) The effect of MyA, ABA and FLU (fluridone, an inhibitor of ABA synthesis) on the endosperm rupture of L. sativum seeds.

(B) The effect of MyA and ABA on the endosperm cap weakening quantified by puncture-force measurements at different times of incubation.

Mean values ± SE of ≥ 3 plates with 50 L. sativum seeds; Puncture-force: mean ± SE of 10-50 seeds.
