The inhibited seed germination by ABA and MeJA is associated with the disturbance of reserve utilizations in Astragalus membranaceus
Astragalus membranaceus is a major traditional Chinese medicinal plant.Here, we investigated the mobilizations of seed reserves during its germination and post-germination growth, as well as the effects of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA).It was found that both starch and protein were rapidly mobilized during the seed Jandy
