We performed RNA profiling of seeds from N22 and its less dormancy mutants at 24 DAH.
GO analysis suggests a close correlation between some processes and seed dormancy.
Reduced seed dormancy in Q4359 was regulated by ABA-GA antagonism.
Higher α-amylase activity and H2O2 content in Q4359 supported these observations.
A few genes were located in the regions containing qSdn-1 and qSdn-5.
