Abstract

Low-dose γ-irradiation can stimulate plant growth and development; however, the knowledge on the molecular mechanisms of such stimulation is yet fragmented. Irradiation of seeds leads to the mobilisation of endosperm resources and reallocation of available nitrogen to facilitate development. Based on the metabolomic analysis, several metabolites possibly involved in radiation stimulation were studied using the HPLC approach in barley cultivars after γ-irradiation of seeds. The comparison of changes in metabolite concentrations and changes in morphological traits after irradiation revealed seven metabolites that may be involved in the growth stimulation after γ-irradiation of barley seeds. Among them are free amino acids, such as γ-aminobutyric acid, β-alanine, arginine, lysine, glutamine, methionine, and a signalling compound methylglyoxal.
