Besides the deposition of storage reserves, seed maturation is characterized by the
acquisition of functional traits including germination, desiccation tolerance, dormancy, and …

Background For species that produce seeds with a water-impermeable coat, ie physical
dormancy (PY), it has been widely recognized that (1) seeds shed at a permeable state …

Species producing seeds with a water‐impermeable seed coat, ie, physical dormancy (PY),
dominate the dry tropical forests. Despite increasing interest and understanding of the …

Abstract Background and Aims The 'hinged valve gap'has been previously identified as the
initial site of water entry (ie water gap) in physically dormant (PY) seeds of Geranium …

Plant population growth and persistence are strongly influenced by germination and
recruitment, which can be dramatically affected by seed dormancy. Generally, pre-sowing …

Integrated weed management (IWM) for agronomic and vegetable production systems
utilizes all available options to effectively manage weeds. Late-season weed control …

Experiments were conducted to determine the amount of time required for waterhemp to
produce mature seeds after pollination. Female waterhemp plants were pollinated over a 24 …

Abstract Background and Aims The water-impermeable seeds of Ipomoea lacunosa
undergo sensitivity cycling to dormancy breaking treatment, and slits are formed around …

Sicyos is the only member of the Cucurbitaceae known to have water‐impermeable seeds,
that is, physical dormancy (PY), and development of seeds with PY has not been studied in …

In seeds with impermeable coats, ie, physical dormancy (PY), dormancy break may occur at
room temperature during ex-situ storage or when seeds experiencing similar conditions …
