520 |a Relative embryo size (embyo:seed length ratio) is a key trait in which the internal morphology of mature seeds differs. It has shaped the angiosperm history at major evolutionary and climatic events, but its adaptive significance and role in dormancy are unknown. We investigated Apium graveolens (celery) morphologically dormant (MD) fruits, which have underdeveloped (small) embryos embedded in abundant endosperm tissue, for their mechanisms in response to non-optimal colder and warmer temperatures. To germinate the underdeveloped embryo must first grow inside the endosperm to reach a critical relative embryo size. Distinct hormone-temperature interactions and molecular mechanisms were underpinning the reduced embryo growth in response to sub-optimal and supra-optimal temperatures. Thermoinhibition (29°C) inhibited germination by surpressing the initiation of embryo growth in a gibberellin (GA)-abscisic acid (ABA) regulated manner. This included inhibited endo-β-1,4-mannanase, expansin and auxin-biosynthesis gene expression. In contrast to this, during chilling and across the entire sub-optimal temperature range (6°C-20°C), the initiation of embryo growth was delayed in a thermal-time compliant manner, as was the expression of GA-induced genes important for ABA-insenitive endosperm degradation and embryo growth. The thermal-hormonal control of germination in seeds with underdeveloped embryos (MD) constitutes a unique programme distinct from seeds with fully developed embryos
