Research Abstract |
For recovery of seagrass meadow, seed germination mechanism in eelgrass wasstudied at physiological and genetic level. The seed germination was promoted under low temperature, low salinity, or hypoosmolality, and affected by phytohormones, abscisic acid and gibberellin. Eighty-seven genes expressed during seed germination were isolated and characterized. The seed preservation method was proposed, and it could store seeds more than one year suppressing germination.
