Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) have been implicated in plant development including sexual plant reproduction. In this paper, the expression of AGPs and the effects of beta-glucosyl Yariv reagent (beta GlcY, which binds arabinogalactan proteins) in embryo development and cotyledon formation were investigated. Immunofluorescence assay displayed that the expression of AGPs labeled with antibody JIM13 was developmentally regulated. In early stages, AGPs were evenly distributed in the whole embryo, except for a short polar expression in the basal suspensor cell. In the globular stage of embryo, AGPs were condensed in the embryo proper (EP), apex of the EP, and at the juncture of the EP and suspensor. In heart-shaped embryo, APGs were only present at the juncture of the EP and suspensor. Immunogold labeling assay showed that the strong expression of AGPs at the juncture of the EP and suspensor was localized in the cell wall. Provision of beta GlcY to the in vitro ovule culture medium caused delayed growth of embryos, cotyledon defect and abnormal venation pattern. Consequently, beta GlcY induced the death of defective seedlings with the characteristics of deformed or irregular single cotyledon. Our results suggested that AGPs play functional roles in embryo development, cotyledon formation and seedling morphology establishment in Nicotiana tabacum L.
