| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. The Glucose-Target of Rapamycin (Glc-TOR) pathway has been studied in different biological systems, but scarcely during early seed germination. This work examines its importance for cell proliferation, expression of cell cycle key genes, their protein levels, besides morphology and cellularization of the root apical meristem of maize (Zea mays) embryo axes during germination under the influence of two simple sugars, glucose and sucrose, and a specific inhibitor of TOR activity, AZD 8055. The two sugars promote germination similarly and to an extent, independently of TOR activity. However, the Glc-TOR pathway increases the number of cells committed to proliferation, increasing the expression of a cell cycle gene, ZmCycD4;2, a putative G1/S regulator. Also, Glc-TOR may have influence on the protein stability of another G1/S cyclin, ZmCycD3, but had no influence on ZmCDKA;1 or ZmKRP3 or their proteins. Results suggest that the Glc-TOR pathway participates in the regulation of proliferation through different mechanisms that, in the end, modify the timing of seed germination |
