Exploring the applicability of calorespirometry to assess seed metabolic stabil...
Rodrigues, Lénia; Nogales, Amaia; Hansen, Lee; Santos, Fátima; Rato, Ana Elisa; Cardoso, HéliaThe availability of phenotyping tools to assist breeding programs in the selection of high-quality crop seeds is of obvious interest with consequences for both seed producers and consumers. Seed germination involves the activation of several metabolic pathways, such as cellular respiration to provide the required ATP and reducing power. This work tested the applicability of calorespirometry, the simultaneous me...
Exploring the involvement of Alternative respiratory pathway in Pisum sativum L...
Rodrigues, Lénia; Claudino, Ricardo; Groot, Steven; Hohmann, Pierre; Nogales, Amaia; Hansen, Lee; Cardoso, HéliaOrganic agriculture, recognized as a more sustainable agricultural system, strongly depends on the use of highly resilient genotypes. Seed resilience, with increased tolerance to germination that provide vigorous seedlings under environmental stresses, currently represents one of the most important agronomical traits. Seed germination involves the activation of several metabolic pathways, including cellular res...
Calorespirometry as a phenotyping tool for selection of genotypes with high pla...
Rodrigues, Lénia; Nogales, Amaia; Hansen, Lee; Santos, Fátima; Groot, Steven; Rato, Ana Elisa; Hélia, CardosoIncreasing human population and climatic and edaphic changes impose needs to develop new cultivars with seeds that have grea-ter plasticity for environmental constraints and higher germinati-on rates. Improving seed vigor remains a primary objective of the agricultural industry and the seed/breeding companies that sup-port it. Phenotyping tools to assist breeding programs for pheno-typing seeds for resilience a...
