This review highlights recent progresses in seed germination and dormancy research.
Research on the weakening of the endosperm during germination, which is almost a classic …

The Arabidopsis protein DELAY OF GERMINATION 1 (DOG1) is a key regulator of seed
dormancy, which is a life history trait that determines the timing of seedling emergence. The …

DELAY OF GERMINATION-1 (DOG1), is a master regulator of primary dormancy (PD) that
acts in concert with ABA to delay germination. The ABA and DOG1 signaling pathways …

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—the absence of seed germination under favorable germination conditions—
is a plant trait that evolved to enhance seedling survival by avoiding germination under …

Seed dormancy governs the timing of germination, one of the most important developmental
transitions in a plant's life cycle. The DELAY OF GERMINATION1 (DOG1) gene is a key …

Seeds are unique time capsules that can switch between 2 complex and highly interlinked
stages: seed dormancy and germination. Dormancy contributes to the survival of plants …

Seed germination is an important life-cycle transition because it determines subsequent
plant survival and reproductive success. To detect optimal spatiotemporal conditions for …

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 …

Seed dormancy controls the start of a plant's life cycle by preventing germination of a viable
seed in an unfavorable season. Freshly harvested seeds usually show a high level of …
