Embryo development is essential for seed yield and post-germination growth. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the rate-limiting enzyme in oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPPP), is widely involved in plant development and stress tolerance by providing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). In this study, the double mutant (g6pd5/6), overexpression line (G6PD5/6OE) and complementation line (g6pd5/6Comp) of cytosolic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenases (Cyt-G6PD) were used to investigate Cyt-G6PD roles in embryo development of Arabidopsis. The results showed that the germination rate ofg6pd5/6seeds was delayed in comparison with that of Col-0; moreover, 11.5% ofg6pd5/6seeds did not germinate. The dysfunction of Cyt-G6PD resulted in decreased fresh weight and primary root length ofg6pd5/6seedlings. The height and silique length ofg6pd5/6plants were also decreased. Moreover, the abortion rate of siliques and seeds ofg6pd5/6plants were increased compared with those of Col-0, G6PD5/6OEandg6pd5/6Complines. However, the dysfunction of Cyt-G6PD did not affect pollen activity; but ing6pd5/6, the embryo development was partially delayed or inhibited. The contents of fatty acids and storage proteins, two main storage materials in Arabidopsis seeds, were decreased ing6pd5/6seeds. Exogenous application of fatty acids (C18:2; C18:3) alleviated the delayed germination ofg6pd5/6seeds. RT-qPCR results further demonstrated that the early embryo development genes were down-regulated ing6pd5/6. Taken together, Cyt-G6PD plays a pivotal role in plant seed development by regulating the transcriptions of early embryo development genes and the accumulation of storage materials (especially fatty acids).
