Stimulation of Lettuce Seed Germination by 6-(Substituted) Purines

Abstract: Presoaking several varieties of seed, especially lettuce, in various 6-(substituted) amino-and thiopurine solutions has been found to increase their rate of germination (3,5,6). Recently it was also reported that these purine derivatives are synergistic with gibberellin in inducing these biological responses whereas gibberellin alone was only moderately active in stimulating germination of Early Curled Simpson lettuce seed (7, 8). The mode of biochemical action of these purine derivatives and gibberellin (2) i… Show more

“…Far red has been shown to be ineffective in reversing R effect in lettuce seeds imbibed in aqueous solution of kinetin (20); in fact FR promoted germination in presence of kinetin (20,26). A germination path independent of R-FR photocontrol appears to have been created by these treatments.…”

“…Cytokinins are known to promote germination of light-sensitive lettuce seeds in the dark (20,26 the inhibitory effects of natural inhibitors of seed germination and this was suggested to be one of the mechanisms of natural control of germination (13,14). The involvement of inhibitors in the light-sensitive seeds is suggested from several studies (8,15).…”
