Rapamycin and ATP-competitive target of rapamycin (TOR) inhibitors exert inhibitory effects on the growth of wheat whole seeds and of isolated wheat embryos. (A) The phenotype of seedlings after 2 and 4 days of germination in the presence of rapamycin. The surface-sterilized seeds were germinated under long-daylight conditions at room temperature on filter paper soaked with sterile water supplemented with rapamycin at different concentrations for 2 and 4 days. (B) Effects of rapamycin and ATP-competitive TOR inhibitors on isolated wheat embryos. The embryos were incubated on a 0.5× MS medium with 10 μM ABA or 1 μM GA alone and in combination with rapamycin, torin1, or pp242 for 4 days.
