Seed germination is a major developmental transition in a plant's life that involves the
concerted action of several genetic and physiological pathways (Holdsworth et al., 2008) …

Seed dormancy is an adaptive trait defining where and when plants are established. Diverse
signals from the environment are used to decide when to initiate seed germination, a …

The accurate control of dormancy release and germination is critical for successful plantlet
establishment. Investigations in cereals hypothesized a crucial role for specific MAP kinase …

To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying regulation of seed germination, we
searched enriched cis elements in the upstream regions of Arabidopsis genes whose …

Abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin (GA) are two antagonistic phytohormones that regulate
seed germination in response to biotic and abiotic environmental stresses. We demonstrate …

Abstract Embryonic regulators LEC2 (LEAFY COTYLEDON2) and FUS3 (FUSCA3) are
involved in multiple aspects of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seed development …

The major stages of the potato life cycle are tuber dormancy and sprouting, however, there is
still known very little of the mechanisms that control these processes. TCP (Theosinte branch …

Plants respond to a rise in ambient temperature by increasing the growth of petioles and
hypocotyls. In this work, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana class I TEOSINTE BRANCHED …

Abstract The DELLA protein REPRESSOR OF ga1-3-LIKE2 (RGL2) plays an important role
in seed germination under different conditions through a number of transcription factors …

After germination, exposure to light promotes the opening and expansion of the cotyledons
and the development of the photosynthetic apparatus in a process called de‐etiolation. This …
