This review provides a revised and expanded word-formula system of whole-seed primary
dormancy classification that integrates the scheme of Nikolaeva with that of Baskin and …

Seed persistence is the survival of seeds in the environment once they have reached
maturity. Seed persistence allows a species, population or genotype to survive long after the …

Seeds of legumes are generally considered to have physical dormancy and to be orthodox,
but most seed biologists are unaware of the various kinds and combinations of dormancy …

Control of seed germination and dormancy is important in seed plant adaptation and
evolution. When studying seed dormancy of Quercus species, we observed a substantially …

Abstract Background and Aims In seeds with deep simple epicotyl morphophysiological
dormancy, warm and cold stratification are required to break dormancy of the radicle and …

• Premise of the study: Seeds of some temperate plants require multiple treatments to break
complex forms of dormancy, such as deep simple double morphophysiological dormancy …

Morphophysiological dormancy was investigated in seeds of Ribes multiflorum Kit ex Roem
et Schult. ssp. sandalioticum Arrigoni, a rare mountain species endemic to Sardinia (Italy) …

A ISTRA ("|" Non dormancy, three of the five classes of dormancy and orthodox and
recalcitrant storage behavior occur in seeds of l'abaceae. The aim of the study was to …

The physical dormancy of seeds has been poorly studied in species from tropical forests,
such as the Atlantic Forest. This study aimed to examine the effect of moderate alternating …

Background and aims Physiological epicotyl dormancy in which the epicotyl elongates
inside the seed before the shoot emerges has been reported for only a few tropical rainforest …
