Abstract
We propose to use a combined molecular and biochemical approach to investigate the extent and importance of mitochondrial metabolism and biogenesis in the provision of ATP and metabolic intermediates during early post-imbibitional development of representative agronomically important seeds. This work will provide information, concerning the role and regulation of expression of key respiratory enzymes during seedling establishment and will underpin any future attempts to use the techniques of genetic manipulation to improve germination rates and seedling survival of crop species.
