The effect of aerated hydration on DNA synthesis in embryos of Brassica oleracea L.
Keyword(s):
AbstractAgeing causes a delay in the onset of DNA replication in seeds. Aerated hydration for 8 h, a treatment to invigorate seeds, resulted in a reduction of about 12 h in the time difference in the onset of DNA synthesis between unaged and aged embryos of brassica seed. This effect is consistent with a recovery process occurring during aerated hydration of the seed involving the repair of accumulated DNA damage. The occurrence of hydroxyurea-resistant 3H-thymidine incorporation in aged Brussels sprouts embryos during the period 16–32 h from the start of hydration supports this interpretation.
