GA3 induces expression of E2F-like genes and CDKA during in vitro germination of zygotic embryos of Cocos nucifera (L.)

Abstract: Previous reports have demonstrated that gibberellins promote seed germination, including in vitro germination of zygotic embryos of coconut. Genes that control the cell cycle seem to play important roles during germination. In this study, complete full-length sequences of two E2F-like genes, CnE2F1 and CnE2F2, were obtained. Deduced amino acid sequences of both genes showed conserved domains characteristic of E2F genes. Both genes showed high homology with Arabidopsis thaliana E2Fa and E2Fb, which are transcri… Show more

“…After 60 days, for the embryos cultivated in medium with 20 µM GA 3 , a germination percentage of 72% was observed, whereas in the absence of this growth regulator, the germination percentage was only 41% (Figure 1). Similar results were found for Cocos nucifera (L.), where the use of GA 3 increased the germination of zygotic embryos by 50% (Montero-Cortés et al, 2011).…”

“…For some species, supplementation of the germination medium with GA 3 has been used since this compound regulates the germination of seeds and zygotic embryos. The in vitro germination of some species, such as Maclura tinctoria, Cocos nucifera, and Syagrus coronata, has been increased by supplying the medium with GA 3 (Gomes et al, 2010;Medeiros et al, 2015;Montero-Cortés et al, 2011). This growth regulator could be important for cell growth and elongation, leaf expansion and photosynthetic processes, as well as for the activity of important metabolic enzymes, such as nitrate reductase (Gupta;Chakrabarty, 2013, Bezerra et al, 2019.…”
