MyA inhibits seed germination

Figure 1
. The effect of myrigalone A (MyA) on Lepidium sativum seed germination in continuous light and in darkness.
(a) The effect of different concentrations of MyA on the time required for germinating seed populations to reach 50% testa rupture (TR50%) or endosperm rupture (ER50%) displayed as dose responses.
(b) Endosperm cap puncture force (red circles) and endosperm rupture kinetics during germination without (CON) or with 5x10-4 M MyA added (MyA).
(c) Endosperm rupture kinetics of germinating seeds, incubated in continuous white light without (CON) and with 5x10-4 M MyA preincubated for 35h in darkness or continuous light.
Mean values ± SE of ≥ 3 replicates of 50 seeds each are shown for testa and endosperm rupture; mean values ± SE of 10-50 seeds for the puncture-force measurements.
