The function of NO in H2O2-regulated GA biosynthesis. (a) Effects of H2O2, NO, and their production inhibitor DPI or scavenger c-PTIO, or the GA biosynthesis inhibitor PAC on the dormancy and germination of freshly harvested seed; the germination ratio was counted on the seventh day. (b) Changes in the transcript levels of GA20ox GA biosynthesis genes under different treatments at 24 h imbibition. (c) Changes in the transcript levels of GA3ox GA biosynthesis genes under different treatments at 24 h imbibition. (d) Changes in the transcript levels of GA-regulated genes XTH5 and EXP2 under different treatments at 24 h imbibition. H2O2 (10 mM), DPI (10 μM), SNP (200 μM), c-PTIO (200 μM), and PAC (10 μM) were used for these experiments. Values are the means±SE (n=3 for a–d). An ANOVA test followed by a rank test was performed. Different letters are used to indicate means that are significantly different (P <0.05).
