“…A. graveolens is native to eastern Mediterranean, however, the wide distribution of wild ecotypes of the species makes definition of its origin uncertain [39]. It is usually a biannual plant, which is cultivated as an annual crop, however, annual cultivars also exist which are best suited for dry fruit and seed production [40].…”

Apium plants belong to the Apiaceae family and are included among plants that have been in use in traditional medicine for thousands of years worldwide, including in the Mediterranean, as well as the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Africa. Some highlighted medical benefits include prevention of coronary and vascular diseases. Their phytochemical constituents consist of bergapten, flavonoids, glycosides, furanocoumarins, furocoumarin, limonene, psoralen, xanthotoxin, and selinene. Some of their pharmacological properties include anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, nematocidal, anti-rheumatism, antiasthma, anti-bronchitis, hepatoprotective, appetizer, anticonvulsant, antispasmodic, breast milk inducer, anti-jaundice, antihypertensive, anti-dysmenorrhea, prevention of cardiovascular diseases, and spermatogenesis induction. The present review summarizes data on ecology, botany, cultivation, habitat, medicinal use, phytochemical composition, preclinical and clinical pharmacological efficacy of Apium plants and provides future direction on how to take full advantage of Apium plants for the optimal benefit to mankind.

“…However, it was concluded that it does not inhibit GA production or lower its content in higher plants [16] . Assuming that for the germination of celery seeds de novo synthesis or metabolism of endogenous GA's is a prerequisite [15], then on the basis of the results presented in Figure 2 it is plausible to conclude that daminozide and chloremquat chloride do interfere with these processes . Cytokinins (BA or kinetin and also zeatin and zeatin riboside-data not shown) acted synergistically with GA4/7 to overcome the inhibition of the whole seeds only (caused by the growth retardants) and only in the dark ( Figure 1 and Table 1 from plants pretreated with paclobutrazol [4] .…”

The germination of whole seeds of celery (Apium graveolens L .) was inhibited by paclobutrazol, ancymidol and lower concentrations of uniconazole . The growth retardants daminozide, AMO 1618 and chlormequat chloride inhibited the germination of cut seeds only, indicating that the seed coat prevents the penetration of these compounds at the examined concentrations. Application of a mixture of the gibberellins A4 and A7 (GA 4/7) reversed the inhibition of all the examined growth retardants . Cytokinins (artificial or natural) had no effect when applied alone and did not interact with GA4/7 in the light . However, in the dark the cytokinins at some concentrations and GA4/7 had a synergistic effect in reversing the inhibition caused by growth retardants to whole seeds or in promoting the germination of whole seeds . It is therefore suggested that the major effect on seed of exogenous cytokinins when applied together with GA's is to increase the uptake of gibberellins by the seeds .Abbreviations . AMO 1618,

To increase our knowledge of the seed dormancy breaking and germination requirements of native and non-native winter annual Apiaceae in temperate eastern North America, a study was conducted on seeds of Cyclospermum (Apium) leptophyllum, which is native to South America, but naturalized in North America and elsewhere. A high percentage of fresh seeds germinated over a narrow range of temperatures, but the range increased when seeds were incubated continuously in light or buried in soil at high summer temperatures, indicating the presence of conditional physiological dormancy (PD). Embryos grew from approximately 0.3 to 1.25 mm (316% increase in length) inside the seeds before the radicle emerged; thus, seeds had morphological dormancy (MD) as well as PD, that is, morphophysiological dormancy (MPD). Embryo growth did not occur during summer in seeds exposed to natural temperatures, but embryos did grow in autumn. For seeds sown in the field in June, both embryo growth and germination occurred in autumn. Thus, seeds have non-deep simple MPD, with PD being broken in summer and MD in autumn. A comparison of C. leptophyllum with native and non-native winter annual Apiaceae in the region reveals that all species have MD, but the proportion of fresh seeds that also has PD (thus, MPD) varies between species. A combination of factors, including PD, an inability to germinate at high summer temperatures, a relatively low temperature requirement for embryo growth and a lack of dispersal until autumn (in two non-natives), delays germination of both natives and non-natives until autumn, when conditions are favorable for both germination and seedling establishment.
