Abstract
The relationships between DNA synthesis and germination capacity ofAgrostemma seeds have been studied. Protein synthesis and RNA synthesis are activated at the very beginning of imbibition, whereas DNA synthesis starts in the second part of the imbibition phase. Agrostemma seeds inhibited by higher temperature (30° C), or aged seeds with a low germination capacity are characterized by a remarkably reduced protein synthesis. DNA synthesis is also reduced. The inhibition of protein-synthesis ofAgrostemma embryos fed with cycloheximid or actinomycin D causes a depression of DNA synthesis. These results indicate that the initiation of DNA synthesis of imbibingAgrostemma seeds depends on the synthesis of special proteins. Abscisic acid inhibits growth as well as DNA synthesis of isolatedAgrostemma embryos. Mitomycin inhibits germination and DNA synthesis to the same extent. Dormant seeds with an undiminished intensity of protein synthesis also show a reduced incorporation of3H-thymidine in DNA. We suggest that DNA synthesis of imbibed seeds, which is a necessary prerequisite for the radicle protrusion, is involved in the mechanism of afterripening of theAgrostemma seeds. Byl studován vztah mezi syntézou DNA a klíčivostí semenAgrostemma githago. Syntéza bílkovin a RNA je aktivována od samého počátku bubření, kdežto syntéza DNA začíná v druhé části fáze bubření. SemenaAgrostemma inhibovaná vyšší teplotou (30 °C), nebo starší semena s nízkou klíčivostí jsou charakterizována výrazně sníženou syntézou bílkovin. Syntéza DNA je rovněž snížená. Inhibice syntézy bílkovin u embryíAgrostemma, na něž byl aplikován cykloheximid nebo aktinomycin D, vyvolává snížení syntézy DNA. Tyto výsledky naznačují, že počátek syntézy DNA u bubřících semenAgrostemma závisí na syntéze speciálních bílkovin. Kyselina abscisová inhibuje jak růst, tak i syntézu DNA izolovaných embryíAgrostemma. Mitomycin brzdí syntézu DNA v témž rozsahu. U dormantních semen s nesníženou intenzitou syntézy bílkovin je inkorporace3H-tymidinu do DNA také snížena. Podle autorů je syntéza DNA v bubřících semenech součástí pochodů, které prohíhají po dozrání semenAgrostemma.Keywords
