Abstract: A proteomic approach was used to analyze the mechanisms of dormancy breaking in wheat embryos and the participation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and abscisic acids (ABA) in this process. The dormant and non-dormant embryos were dissected and treated with water,1 % H2O2 and 25μmol/ L ABA solution. ABA delayed,whereas H2O2 promoted seed dormancy breaking. 2D maps for water,ABA and H2O2 were established. Ten spots,showing significant changes in expression level,were identified by MALDI2TOF2MS. Some of them had previously been shown to play a role during dormancy breaking or germination in several plant species.We conclude that the mechanism of seed dormancy breaking is acomplex developmental processes,involves in environment stress (such as LEA,NAD(P) H dehydrogenase),cell cycle activity(auxin-responsive protein IAA19),signal transduction (calmodulin2related protein) and seed storage protein (2S albu-min-like protein),etc.Altogether,the results provided important information on the molecular mechanisms of breaking dormancy in the wheat seeds by H2O2 application.
