The mechanisms controlling seed dormancy in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) have
been characterized by proteomics using the dormant (D) accession Cvi originating from the …

Background Seed dormancy is controlled by the physiological or structural properties of a
seed and the external conditions. It is induced as part of the genetic program of seed …

A proteomic approach was used to analyze mechanisms of dormancy breaking in beech
(Fagus sylvatica L.) seeds and the participation of abscisic and gibberellic acids (ABA and …

Despite having very similar initial pools of stored mRNAs and proteins in the dry state,
mature Arabidopsis seeds can either proceed toward radicle protrusion or stay in a dormant …

Physiologically dormant seeds, like those of Arabidopsis, will cycle through dormant states
as seasons change until the environment is favourable for seedling establishment. This …

Seed dormancy allows seeds to overcome periods that are unfavourable for seedling
established and is therefore important for plant ecology and agriculture. Several processes …

Temperature is an important environmental factor affecting seed dormancy and germination.
The mechanism by which temperature induces germination in dormant seeds is however …

Seed dormancy has been studied intensely over the past decades and, at present,
knowledge of this plant trait is at the forefront of plant biology. The main model species is …

Seed dormancy and germination are complex adaptive traits of higher plants that are
influenced by a large number of genes and environmental factors. Studies of genetics and …
