In situ DNA fragmentation during the re-establishment of desiccation tolerance in germinated seeds of Cedrela fissilis Vell.

Abstract: Dehydration is a necessary procedure prior to exposing seeds to long term storage, but this is associated with metabolism-linked injury mediated by cell injury. In order to assess cellular alterations during re-establishment of desiccation tolerance (DT) in C. fissilis germinated seeds and their relation to DNA damage, we verified the occurrence of DNA fragmentation through the TUNEL test and its evidence through the cytological analyses. To re-establish DT, germinated seeds were incubated for 72 h in polyethy… Show more

“…To the Acta Scientiarum. Agronomy, v. 44, e53555, 2022 best of our knowledge, cell maintenance and genome integrity are critically important to prevent mutation prior to the re-initiation of cell cycle activity in the embryonic meristems (Dresch, Masetto, & Scalon, 2015;Waterworth et al, 2015;Masetto & Faria, 2019).…”

“…It was universally accepted that the development of a multicellular organism, such as a plant, is directly related to the processes of cell division, growth, and differentiation (Harashima & Schnittger, 2010). Indeed, recent evidence shows that in early-imbibing seeds, damage to the embryo genome must be repaired prior to the initiation of cell division to minimize growth inhibition, mutation of genetic information (Waterworth et al, 2015), and passive cell death (Masetto & Faria, 2019). DNA damage is caused during replication processes, but also by various endogenous and exogenous factors under stressful conditions.…”
