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 …

The endosperm, a transient seed tissue, plays a pivotal role in supporting embryo growth
and germination. This unique feature sets flowering plants apart from gymnosperms …

Plants are constantly exposed to a variety of different environmental stresses, including
drought, salinity, and elevated temperatures. These stress cues are assumed to intensify in …

The endosperm is a nutritive tissue supporting embryo growth in flowering plants. Most
