Example sentences for: germinating

How can you use “germinating” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Findings that the expression of at least two genes involved in lipid metabolism is sugar regulated [ 31 ] and that sucrose can affect total lipid content in germinating seeds [ 58 ] suggest that lipid metabolism may also be sugar regulated.

  • Soluble sugars, such as glucose and sucrose, have been postulated to act as signaling molecules that help regulate a wide variety of plant developmental and physiological processes [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ] . These processes include flowering [ 14 15 16 17 ] , seed germination [ 18 19 20 ] and photosynthesis [ 21 22 ] . One of the most thoroughly characterized sugar-regulated processes is the breakdown of starch by germinating cereal seeds.

  • This enzyme has several proposed functions, such as gluco-neogenesis in germinating seeds, carbon recovery during senescence, nitrogen assimilation during seed development and decarboxylation of OAA in PEPCK-type C4 photosynthesis [ 36, 37].

  • Although a large number of studies have been conducted on sugar regulation of starch breakdown by germinating cereal seeds, very little work has focused on determining whether lipid breakdown by germinating oilseeds is also sugar regulated.

  • Starch metabolism by germinating seeds must be tightly controlled to ensure an adequate supply of sugar to the developing seedling [ 13 23 ] .
