Live imaging Arabidopsis thaliana embryos under different hydration conditions

Summary: Despite the ecological and agronomical importance of seed germination, how seeds integrate environmental signals to trigger germination remains enigmatic. Recently we reported that a protein called FLOE1 is involved in sensing and responding to water availability during germination. Here, w...

Description
Summary:Summary: Despite the ecological and agronomical importance of seed germination, how seeds integrate environmental signals to trigger germination remains enigmatic. Recently we reported that a protein called FLOE1 is involved in sensing and responding to water availability during germination. Here, we present a live-imaging protocol to assess the subcellular localization of a protein of interest during imbibition of desiccated Arabidopsis thaliana seeds with the goal of understanding protein dynamics during the early stages of water uptake.For complete details on the use and execution of this profile, please refer to Dorone et al. (2021).
