Mechanism involves weakening of the cell walls of the surrounding seed tissues,
especially at the micropylar region
Pectin methylesterase (PME) is a cell wall hydrolase involved in mediating
weakening of the cell walls of the megagametophyte of yellow-cedar
Acidic environment (due to IAA (auxin)) of cell wall ph7 activates Expansin which loosens cell wall by breaking down hemicellulose
In Arabidopsis:
Efflux carriers
PIN gene-family of eight
Influx carriers
AUX gene-family of four
Just a collection of some random cool stuff. PS. Almost 99% of the contents here are not mine and I don't take credit for them, I reference and copy part of the interesting sections.

Auxin - an essential growth hormone
Auxin:
- pattern formation
- elongation
- required for viability like cytokinins
- synthesized at the tips of young leaves
- promotes apical (height) dominance
- prevents leaf abscission (loss)
- promotes fruit development
- generation when cut is made
- promote seedless fruits
- herbicides in dicot
Biosynthesis
- use Trp as precursor
- controlled by conjugation (add methyls to convert it to storage forms)
All auxins: Aromatic ring + carboxyl group (0.5nm separation)
eg. IAA - Indole-3-acetic acid
* phototropism (coleoptile curvature test) - differential growth
Auxing Transport
- Basipetal (shoot to root) shift in auxin production
- polar transport from shoot tip (apex) to root tip (base)
- experiment is the donor block of IAA, no IAA obtained in donor when shoot was reversed
- inside of cell is pH 7.2 (more basic than outside pH 5)
- ~ 50% IAA is protonated & can diffuse down a conc. gradient
- ~ 50% is charged (IAA-) and enters via a 2H+/IAA- symporter (influx carrier) (encoded by AUX1 gene)
- IAA- exits cell via efflux carriers (encoded by PIN1 gene) (only found at the basal end of the cells) -> polar transport
- IAA- helps with H+ extrusion: 1. helps in H+-ATPase gene expression 2. membrane trafficking 3. stabilize H+-ATPase stabilization

ABA
Interactions between ABA and other hormones that are antagonistic to ABA

Abscisic Acid hormone
- controls seedling's vigour
- promotes reserve synthesis and late-embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins (for the protection of water stress)
- accumulation of dessication protectants
- promotes seed dormancy
- inhibit precocious germination (vivipary)
Evidence
1) embryo culture - addition of ABA inhibit germination and promoted reserve deposition
2) vivipary - Red mangrove reduced sensitivity to high [ABA]
3) preharvesting - germination on parent plant prior to harvesting, eg. cereals, again, insensitive to high [ABA]
*NOTE: sprouting susceptible - they like to sprout no matter what so insensitive to ABA, transcription factor decreased at maturity, eg. cereals
sprouting resistant - don't want to sprout so SENSITIVE to ABA, ABI3/VPI1 transcription factor levels maintained throughout
Lec 4
response mutants - insensitivity to ABA, defective ABA signaling pathway
e.g. vp1 (all lowercase when naming mutants, all upper case when naming GENES, eg. VP1 gene) in maize, abi3 in arabidopsis (green, less dormant, less reserve, dessication/drying-intolerant, matures prematurely)
ABI3/VP1 genes are transcription factors, binds with FUS3, LEC1 transcription factors and they all bind to RY cis promoter to control maturation
ABRE - ABA-ResponsiveElements (promoter element, sequence in genes)
ABA/GA ratio (ABA - sleep pill and GA - wake up pill are antagonistic)
These GAs induce a developmental program that leads to vivipary
in the absence of normal amounts of ABA
A reduction of GAs re-establishes an ABA/GA ratio appropriate for suppression
of germination and induction of maturation.
Mod 6, 7
Sprouting leads to damage due to premature hydrolysis of grain reserves –
hydrolytic enzymes associated with post-germinative reserve mobilization
degrade starch & protein of grain
When malting process is terminated, malted grain consists of
friable endosperm containing:
High amounts of enzymes, e.g. α-amylase, which will later
participate in the hydrolysis of the starch to produce sugars
for fermentation
Altered protein & various other chemicals (quality of final product)
Pre-harvest sprouted grain is unacceptable to the malting industry!

Number properties - Commutative, associative
Commutative - order - 4+5 = 5+4
Associative - grouping - (4 + 5) + 6 = 5 + (4 + 6)
http://www.onlinemathlearning.com/number-properties.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence
In computer science, the term idempotent is used to describe methods or subroutine calls that can safely be called multiple times, as invoking the procedure a single time or multiple times has the same result; i.e., after any number of method calls all variables have the same value as they did after the first call.
eg. table lookups
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomicity_(database_systems)
atomic transaction, a series of database operations either all occur, or nothing occurs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_system_(mathematics)
In mathematics, a deterministic system is a system in which no randomness is involved in the development of future states of the system

Counting Permutations and Combinations
http://www.andrews.edu/~calkins/math/webtexts/prod02.htm
Permutations
Permutation is another name for possible arrangements with SOME items from a given set. It is important to remember that order chosen or position arranged is taken into account. Hence permutations are similar to anagrams. Given below is the necessary equation.
nPr = n! / (n - r)!
where r is the number of items arranged from n elements.
Example: How many ways can you arrange four figurines from a set of seven?
Answer: 7P4=7!/3!=7•6•5•4=840.
Alternate solution: The figurines can be placed as follows: 7 6 5 4 , which is the same as the factorial notation 7!/3!.

P(8,5) = 8! / (8 - 5)! =
6,720
Combinations
Combinations are arrangements of elements without regard to their order or position.
nCr = n! / (r!(n - r)!)
where r is the number of items taken from n elements.
Note that these numbers are the same as those in Pascal's Triangle, the binomial formula, and the binomial distribution. Those less than about four digits should become very familiar.
Example: You have five places left for stamps in your stamp book and you have eight stamps. How many different ways can you select five?
Answer: 8!/(5!3!) = 8•7•6/(3•2)=56.
Think of putting them in slots, the first has eight choices, the next slot has seven choices and so forth as demonstrated.
8 7 6 5 4
Each combination of choosing 5 out of the 8 has permutations of its own. The five can be arranged in the following ways:
5 4 3 2 1
Thus there are (8!÷3!)÷5! = 8!÷(5!3!)=56 ways to select five of eight, but 6720 ways to arrange five of eight.
C(8,5) = 8! / 5! (8 - 5)! =
56
Unique dice combinations, 6+5+4+3+2+1 = 21, it's like a triangle
for dice with only 4 dots ...
(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4)
(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4)
(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4)
(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4)
so you can draw a diagonal and you don't count one side of the triangle, so first row has 1, second row has 2, third row has 3, fourth row has 4 so 1+2+3+4 = 10
