Abstract:
In the realm of plant biology and agriculture, seed germination serves as a fundamental process with far-reaching implications for crop production and environmental health. This comprehensive review seeks to unravel the intricate web of interactions between some biotic stressors and seed germination, addressing the pertinent issue of how these stressors influence seed germination. Different chemicals produced by interacting plants (different parts), fungi, bacteria, or insects can either promote or inhibit seed germination. Releasing chemicals that modulate signaling pathways and cellular processes significantly disrupt essential cellular functions. This disruption leads to diverse germination outcomes, introducing additional layers of complexity to this regulatory landscape. The chemicals perturb enzyme activity and membrane integrity, imposing unique challenges on the germination process. Understanding the mechanisms- how allelochemicals, mycotoxins, or bacterial toxins affect seed germination or the modes of action holds promise for more sustainable agricultural practices, enhanced pest control, and improved environmental outcomes. In sum, this review contributes to a fundamental exposition of the pivotal role of biotic stressors in shaping the germination of seeds.
摘要:
在植物生物学和农业领域,种子发芽是对作物生产和环境健康具有深远意义的基本过程。这篇全面的综述旨在解开一些生物应激源和种子萌发之间复杂的相互作用网,解决这些应激源如何影响种子萌发的相关问题。相互作用的植物(不同部分)产生的不同化学物质,真菌,细菌,或昆虫可以促进或抑制种子发芽。释放调节信号通路和细胞过程的化学物质会显著破坏基本细胞功能。这种破坏导致不同的发芽结果,为这种监管环境引入了额外的复杂性。这些化学物质会扰乱酶活性和膜的完整性,对发芽过程施加独特的挑战。了解机制-化感物质,霉菌毒素,或细菌毒素会影响种子发芽,或作用方式有望实现更可持续的农业实践,加强虫害防治,改善环境成果。总之,这篇综述有助于从根本上阐述生物应激源在塑造种子萌发中的关键作用。
