Abstrakt: | Abstract: The effect of potassium administration in early germination of wheat (Triticum durum L., cv. Appulo) was studied by incubating isolated embryos at different viability levels with 1 mM KC1. The stimulation of germination and growth in aged embryos by K+ was accompanied by a significant increase in (3H) leucine incorporation into protein and in phospholipid synthesis as evidenced by TLC analysis of embryo phospholipids extracted after 24 h of imbibition. The metabolic improvement mediated by the cation would in turn repair aging damage occurring at subcellular sites including membranes. |
