Emergence heterogeneity caused by epicotyl dormancy contributes to variations in seedling quality during large-scale breeding. However, the mechanism of epicotyl dormancy release remains obscure. We first categorized the emergence stages of Chinese cork oak (Quercus variabilis) using the BBCH-scale. Subsequently, we identified the key stage of the epicotyl dormancy process. Our findings indicated that cold stratification significantly released epicotyl dormancy by increasing the levels of gibberellic acid 3 (GA3) and GA4. Genes associated with GA biosynthesis and signaling also exhibited altered expression patterns. Inhibition of GA biosynthesis by paclobutrazol (PAC) treatment severely inhibited emergence, with no effect on seed germination. Different concentrations (50 μM, 100 μM, and 200 μM) of GA3 and GA4+7 treatments of germinated seeds demonstrated that both can promote the emergence, with GA4 exhibiting a more pronounced effect. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the characterization of epicotyl dormancy in Chinese cork oak and highlights the critical role of GA biosynthesis in seedling emergence. These findings serve as a basis for further investigations on epicotyl dormancy and advancing large-scale breeding techniques |
