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 …

This review proposes that plants make smart decision and encourages scientists to
formulate and test hypotheses about plant's decisions as an option to investigate complex …

Although much is known about seed and fruit development at the molecular level, many
gaps remain in our understanding of how cell wall modifications can impact developmental …

The current study evaluated the effectiveness of different pre-treatments for dormancy

Seed dormancy transition is a vital developmental process for seedling propagation and
agricultural production. The process is precisely regulated by diverse endogenous genetic …

Abstract Background In Amomum tsaoko breeding, the low germination rate is the major
limitation for their large-scale reproduction. We found that warm stratification was an …

Celery seed is known to be difficult to germinate due to its morphological dormancy. Light is
the key signal to release morphological dormancy and promote seed germination. However …
