“…Breaking dormancy and mobilisation of storage compounds are found to be regulated by RNS in the processes of seed germination. It also helps in mediation of hormonal responses, posttranslational modification of proteins, and signalling events in the germination process of seeds [29]. It is also found that the seed germination is enhanced due to incorporation of nitrogen on the seed surface [30].…”

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) seeds were treated with atmospheric pressure gliding arc discharge plasmas to investigate the effects on water absorption, seed germination rate, seedling growth and yield in wheat. The surface architectures and functionalities of the seeds were found to modify due to plasma treatments. 6 min treatment was provided 95%-100% germination rate. For the treatment duration of 3 and 9 min the growth activity, dry matter accumulation, leaves chlorophyll contents, longest spikes, number of spikes/spikelet and total soluble protein content in shoots were improved. The grain yield of wheat was increased ∼20% by 6 min treatment with H 2 O/O 2 plasma with respect to control.

“…Oxygen availability regulate switch of NO biosynthesis into Arg-or NO 2 --dependent pathways and fluctuates during imbibition of seeds. At the beginning, seed coat forms a barrier, limiting gaseous compounds diffusion, thus inside the embryo oxygen concentration is at low level (hypoxia condition) (Borisjuk et al 2007;Bykova et al 2015). Following stages of germination depend on oxygen presence (Borisjuk et al 2007).…”

“…The increasing number of papers referring to function of RNS in plant physiology points to the significant role of NO as decisive factor in many developmental processes. Seed germination and dormancy status, although, depending mostly on hormonal balance, mostly abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellins and ethylene are regulated also by maintenance of appropriate ROS/RNS production and/or level, defined as the oxidative window and the nitrosative door (Bailly et al 2008;Bykova et al 2015;Krasuska et al 2015a). Involvement of NO in seed dormancy removal and stimulation of germination was demonstrated for many plant species (for review see Arc et al 2013;Krasuska et al 2015a).…”

NO donors and Arg remove dormancy of apple embryos and stimulate germination. Compounds lowering NO level (cPTIO, L -NAME, CAN) strengthen dormancy. Embryo transition from dormancy state to germination is linked to increased nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-like activity. Germination of embryos is associated with declined level of biotin containing proteins and nitrated proteins in soluble protein fraction of root axis. Pattern of nitrated proteins suggest that storage proteins are putative targets of nitration. Nitric oxide (NO) acts as a key regulatory factor in removal of seed dormancy and is a signal necessary for seed transition from dormant state into germination. Modulation of NO concentration in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) embryos by NO fumigation, treatment with NO donor (S-nitroso-N-acetyl-D,L-penicillamine, SNAP), application of 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (cPTIO), N ω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), canavanine (CAN) or arginine (Arg) allowed us to investigate the NO impact on seed dormancy status. Arg analogs and NO scavenger strengthened embryo dormancy by lowering reactive nitrogen species level in embryonic axes. This effect was accompanied by strong inhibition of NOS-like activity, without significant influence on tissue NO2 (-) concentration. Germination sensu stricto of apple embryos initiated by dormancy breakage via short term NO treatment or Arg supplementation were linked to a reduced level of biotinylated proteins in root axis. Decrease of total soluble nitrated proteins was observed at the termination of germination sensu stricto. Also modulation of NO tissue status leads to modification in nitrated protein pattern. Among protein bands that correspond to molecular mass of approximately 95 kDa, storage proteins (legumin A-like and seed biotin-containing protein) were identified, and can be considered as good markers for seed dormancy status. Moreover, pattern of nitrated proteins suggest that biotin containing proteins are also targets of nitration.

“…Only after radicle protrusion the mobilization of storage reserves becomes not significantly limited by oxygen supply ( Taylorson and Hendricks, 1977 ; Bewley and Black, 1994 ; Bewley, 1997 ). As a consequence, after imbibition seeds develop anaerobic conditions limiting oxidative respiration (reviewed in Bykova et al, 2015 ). Despite this, seed ATP levels and energy charge remain high in early germination ( Duff et al, 1998 ; Logan et al, 2001 ; Benamar et al, 2003 ).…”

“…NO nitrosylates proteins and glutathione, while ROS can interact with NO and facilitate its scavenging ( Wulff et al, 2009 ). The interplay between NO and ROS is important for understanding how the seed breaks dormancy and maintains its energy status during germination ( Bykova et al, 2015 ).…”

The levels of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), ATP/ADP ratios, reduction levels of ascorbate and glutathione, expression of the genes encoding proteins involved in metabolism of NO and activities of the enzymes involved in fermentation and in metabolism of NO and ROS were studied in the embryos of germinating seeds of two barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars differing in dormancy level. The level of NO production continuously increased after imbibition while the level of nitrosylated SH-groups in proteins increased. This corresponded to the decrease of free SH-groups in proteins. At early stage of germination (0–48 h post imbibition) the genes encoding class 1 phytoglobin (the protein scavenging NO) and S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (scavenging S-nitrosoglutathione) were markedly expressed. More dormant cultivar exhibited lower ATP/ADP and ascorbate/dehydroascorbate ratios and lower lactate and alcohol dehydrogenase activities, while the production of NO and nitrosylation of proteins was higher as compared to the non-dormant cultivar. The obtained data indicate that at the onset of germination NO is actively generated causing nitrosylation of SH-groups and a switch from respiration to fermentation. After radicle protrusion the metabolism changes in a more reducing type as recorded by ratio of reduced and oxidized glutathione and ascorbate. The turnover of NO by the scavenging systems (phytoglobin, S-nitrosoglutathione reductase and interaction with ROS) might contribute to the maintenance of redox and energy balance of germinating seeds and lead to alleviation of dormancy.
