The development of seed dormancy is an aspect of seed maturation, the last
stage of seed development. To isolate mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana that
are affected in this process, we selected directly for the absence of
dormancy among freshly harvested M2 seeds. The screen yielded two mutants
exhibiting a reduced dormancy, rdo1 and rdo2, that are specifically
affected in dormancy determined by the embryo. The rdo1 and rdo2 mutants
show normal levels of abscisic acid and the same sensitivity to abscisic
acid, ethylene, auxin, and cytokinin as the wild type. The rdo2 mutant but
not the rdo1 mutant has a reduced sensitivity to the gibberellin
biosynthesis inhibitor tetcyclacis. Double-mutant analysis suggested that
the RDO1 and RDO2 genes are involved in separate pathways leading to the
development of dormancy. We assume that the RDO2 gene controls a step in
the induction of dormancy that is most likely induced by abscisic acid and
is expressed as an increase of the gibberellin requirement for germination.
