Seed dormancy is one of the most important adaptive mechanisms in plants, which protects
seeds from precocious germination in the presence of the inappropriate conditions for …

This review focuses mainly on eudicot seeds, and on the interactions between abscisic acid
(ABA), gibberellins (GA), ethylene, brassinosteroids (BR), auxin and cytokinins in regulating …

The seed is an important organ of higher plants regarding plant survival and species
dispersion. The transition between seed dormancy and germination represents a critical …

The seed is an important organ in higher plants, it is an important organ for plant survival
and species dispersion. The transition between seed dormancy and germination represents …

Physiological dormancy has been described as a physiological inhibiting mechanism that
prevents radicle emergence. It can be caused by the embryo (embryo dormancy) as well as …

Seed dormancy and germination are attractive topics in the fields of plant molecular biology
as they are key stages during plant growth and development. Seed dormancy is intricately …

Whether seeds germinate or maintain dormancy is decided upon through very intricate
physiological processes. Correct timing of these processes is most important for the plants …

Seed dormancy is an adaptive trait that does not allow the germination of an intact viable
seed under favorable environmental conditions. Non-dormant seeds or seeds with low level …

Seed dormancy has played a significant role in adaptation and evolution of seed plants.
While its biological significance is clear, molecular mechanisms underlying seed dormancy …

The sesquiterpene phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) regulates key events during seed
