Abstract High temperature during grain filling considerably reduces yield and quality in rice (Oryza sativa L.); however, how high temperature affects seed germination of the next generation is not yet well understood. Here, we report that seeds from plants exposed to high temperature during the grain filling stage germinated significantly later than seeds from unstressed plants. This delay remained even after dormancy release treatments, suggesting that it was not due to primary seed dormancy determined during grain filling. In imbibed embryos of heat-stressed seeds, expression of abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis genes (OsNCEDs) was higher than in those of control seeds, whereas that of ABA catabolism genes (OsABA8′OHs) was lower. In the aleurone layer, despite no change in GA signaling as evidenced by no effect of heat stress on OsGAMYB gene expression, the transcripts of α-amylase genes OsAmy1C, OsAmy3B, and OsAmy3E were significantly down-regulated in heat-stressed seeds in comparison with controls. Changes in promoter methylation levels were consistent with transcriptional changes of ABA catabolism-related and α-amylase genes. These data suggest that high temperature during grain filling results in DNA methylation of ABA catabolism-related and α-amylase gene promoters, delaying germination of heat-stressed seeds.

Allelopathic effects of Parthenium hysterophorus were studied on seed germination and seedling growth of Triticum aestivum, Oryza sativa, Glycine max and Cajanus cajan. The shade dried leaves of Parthenium hysterophorus were soaked in distilled water for 24 hours at room temperature to obtain aqueous extract and sterilized seeds were treated with 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% concentration of P. hysterophorus leaves aqueous extract. The germinated seeds were counted every day to observe mean germination time. It has been found that significant time is taken to germinate with increasing concentration. It has been also observed that germination percentage, root length, shoot length and seedling vigour value were reduced at >2% as compared to control. The 10 % aqueous extract showed the maximum inhibitory effect on seedling growth. In the present investigation, the leaves aqueous extract of P. hysterophorus had strong inhibiting effects on seed germination and seedling growth. It is necessary to keep this weed under check at the emerging stage at agro crop field so that crop growth constraint may be avoided

Allelopathic effects of aqueous extract of leaves of Parthenium hysterophorus were studied on seed germination and seedling growth of three cereal crops (Oryza sativa L., Zea mays L. and Triticum aestivum L.), three cultivated crucifers (Raphanus sativus L., Brassica campestris L. and Brassica oleracea L.) and two wild species of family Asteraceae (Artemisia dubia Wall ex. Besser and Ageratina adenophora (Spreng) King and HE Robins). Seed germination of all crucifer species was completely inhibited at >2% leaf extract of Parthenium hysterophorus but in other species, except maize, complete failure of seed germination was recorded only at >6% in Triticum aestivum and Ageratina adenophora; at 10% in Oryza sativa and Artemisia dubia. Seed germination of Zea mays was not completely inhibited but it was low at high concentration of the extract. The extract had strong inhibitory effect to root elongation of seedling in cereals and to shoot elongation in crucifers and wild Asteraceae. Leaves of Parthenium hysterophorus may be a source of natural weedicide against Ageratina adenophora which will help to control invasive plants.
