On the other hand, there is little variation in exogenous ABA response among Arabidopsis genetic backgrounds, and their responsiveness seems to be related to gibberellins pathway (Barua et al., 2012).

Takagi [23] also reported early sprouting of seed cloves stored at 7[degrees]C and attributed this to the effect of low temperature in reducing the proportion of growth inhibitors and increase of growth promoting hormones, especially gibberellins.
For example, the gibberellin absorption by the leaves might by stimulated by temperatures inferior to 32 [degrees]C and absence of biotic or abiotic stress (Yamaguchi, 2008), and in the course of the experiment temperatures over 31 [degrees]C were registered with a certain constancy (Figure 1).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the basic biological characteristics of large-leaved gentian seeds and the effects of germination temperature, illumination, ultrasound, gibberellins, polyethylene glycol (PEG-4000) treatment, storage temperature and time on seed germination, to provide the theoretical and technical bases for large-leaved gentian seeds identification and large-scale cultivation.
