M. aInvolvement of ethylene and endo-Beta-mannanase in lettuce seed germination at high temperature. aGainesville: University of Floridac1998 a138p. aPh.D. Thesis. aThe objetive of this research was to investigate the involvement of ethylene and the enzyme endo-B-mannanase in lettuce seed germination under high temperature conditions. In an attempt to elucidate the relationship between these factors, several approaches were taken. These were: 1) studyng the interaction between light and temperature on seed germination; 2) testing genotypes that have exhibited different capacities to germinate at high temperature; 3) verifying the seed priming effect; 4) using inhibitors of ethylene synthesis and action during seed germination; and 5) comparing different seed lot quality. aendosperm aethylene agermination alettuce aseeds atemperature aAlface aEndosperma aEtileno aGerminação aLactuca Sativa aMaturação aRegulador de Crescimento aSemente aTemperatura aMaturation aPlant growth substance
