Although seed germination is a major subject in plant physiological research, there is still a
long way to go to elucidate the mechanism of seed germination. Recently, functional …

Regulation of seed germination by dormancy relies on a complex network of transcriptional
and post‐transcriptional modifications during seed imbibition that controls seed adaptive …

Germination represents a rapid transition from dormancy to a high level of metabolic activity.
In-depth transcriptomic profiling at 10 time points in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) …

Seed germination is a critical process in the life cycle of higher plants. During germination,
the imbibed mature seed is highly sensitive to different environmental factors. However …

Seed germination that begins with imbibition and ends with radicle emergence is the first
step for plant growth. Successful germination is not only crucial for seedling establishment …

The pre-germinative metabolism is among the most fascinating aspects of seed biology. The
early seed germination phase, or pre-germination, is characterized by rapid water uptake …

A valuable plant, Cyclobalanopsis gilva,(C. gilva) has a low germination rate (below 50%)
under its natural habitations. In order to examine the reasons for the low germination rate …

Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis is an important traditional Chinese medicine, but poor
seed germination limits its large-scale artificial cultivation. Thus, it is crucial to understand …

Environmental conditions are the basis of plant reproduction and are the critical factors
controlling seed dormancy and germination. Global climate change is currently affecting …
