Popis: Seed ageing is an important issue for the long-time seed storage of tobacco. Seed priming has been popularly applied in tobacco production. In this study, the development of molecular marker genes encoding proteins L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase NtPIMT1 and 8-oxoG DNA glycosylase 1 NtOGG1 to detect the degree of seed ageing and the effect of seed priming is conducted in tobacco. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis reveals that relatively higher mRNAs of NtPIMT1 and NtOGG1 are observed in the dry and early germinating seeds. The expressions of NtPIMT1 and NtOGG1 are negatively correlated with the degree of seed damage in non-pelleted and pelleted seeds after accelerated ageing treatments. The early best effects of gibberellin (GA3) priming on speed and uniform germination are observed in 33 h primed seeds, and relatively lower expressions of NtPIMT1 and NtOGG1 are observed in priming seeds. NtPIMT1 and NtOGG1 genes have potential for use as molecular markers in detecting the seed ageing degree and priming effect of tobacco.
