Popis: Dormant and nondormant isogenic barley grains were obtained by maturing grains under short day (SD) or long day (LD) growth conditions, respectively. Hormonal responses of isolated embryos and aleurone layers from these grains were studied. Addition of abscisic acid (ABA) reduced germination rate and percentage of embryos, and induced Rab (ABA-responsive) mRNA in aleurone layers from both types of grain. Embryos and aleurone layers from dormant grains responded stronger to ABA than those from nondormant grains. Gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) increased the germination rate and percentage of embryos from dormant grains and counteracted the ABA-induced inhibition of embryo germination
