英文摘要

Seed deterioration is detrimental to plant germplasm conservation, and predicting seed germination and vigor with reliability  and sensitivity means is urgently needed for practical problems.

We  investigated the link between hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) flux, oxygen influx and seed vigor of Caragana korshinskii by the non-invasive   micro-test technique (NMT). Some related physiological and biochemical   changes in seeds were also determined to further explain the changes in the molecular fluxes.

The results showed that there was a good  linear relationship between germination and H2O2 flux, and that O2  influx was more suitable for assessing seed vigor. H2O2 flux changed  relatively little initially, mainly affected by antioxidants (APX, CAT  and GSH) and H2O2 content; afterward, the efflux increased more and more  rapidly due to high membrane permeability. With the damage of  mitochondrial respiration and membrane integrity, O2 influx was  gradually reduced.

We propose that monitoring H2O2 and O2 fluxes  by NMT may be a reliable and sensitive method to evaluate seed  germination and vigor.

中文摘要（谷歌机翻）

种子变质对植物种质的保存有害，因此迫切需要通过可靠性和敏感性手段预测种子的发芽和活力。

我们通过非损伤微测试技术（NMT）研究了过氧化氢（H2O2）通量，氧气流入和柠条锦鸡儿种子活力之间的联系。还确定了种子中一些相关的生理和生化变化，以进一步解释分子通量的变化。

结果表明，发芽率与H2O2通量之间存在良好的线性关系，而O2流入更适合评估种子活力。H2O2通量最初变化相对较小，主要受抗氧化剂（APX，CAT和GSH）和H2O2含量的影响；之后，由于高的膜渗透性，流出量越来越快地增加。随着线粒体呼吸和膜完整性的损害，O2流入量逐渐减少。

我们建议通过NMT监测H2O2和O2通量可能是评估种子发芽和活力的可靠且敏感的方法。

The colored lines represent the ?uxes of oxygen and H2O2 over  time for one seed (a, b, d, e), and each column gives the mean ± SD from  ten different seeds (n = 10) (c, f). Statistical analysis was done  using Duncan’s multiple range test. Treatments with different letters are signi?cantly different at the p < 0.05 level
