Seed germination is the growth process of a plant contained within a seed, achieved through reactivating metabolism and cell divisions. Post-transcriptional regulation plays an important role in gene expression, involving factors like RNA-binding proteins, microRNAs, and the spliceosome. Studying the relationship between seed germination and post-transcriptional regulation contributes to understanding the impact of these processes on plants.
Seed germination is the process through which a quiescent organ reactivates its metabolism culminating with the resumption cell divisions. It is usually the growth of a plant contained within a seed and results in the formation of a seedling. Post-transcriptional regulation plays an important role in gene expression. In cells, post-transcriptional regulation is mediated by many factors, such as RNA-binding proteins, microRNAs, and the spliceosome. This review provides an overview of the relationship between seed germination and post-transcriptional regulation. It addresses the relationship between seed germination and RNA-binding proteins, microRNAs and alternative splicing. This presentation of the current state of the knowledge will promote new investigations into the relevance of the interactions between seed germination and post-transcriptional regulation in plants.
