Seed Dormancy and Germination [PDF]
Seed dormancy allows seeds to overcome periods that are unfavourable for seedling established and is therefore important for plant ecology and agriculture. Several processes are known to be involved in the induction of dormancy and in the switch from the dormant to the germinating state.

A tumor-derived type III collagen-rich ECM niche regulates tumor cell dormancy
Cancer cells disseminate and seed in distant organs, where they can remain dormant for many years before forming clinically detectable metastases. Here we studied how disseminated tumor cells sense and remodel the extracellular matrix (ECM) to sustain ...

Dormancy in seeds of brazilian cerrado and dense Ombrophilous forest
The Cerrado and the Dense Ombrophilous Forest are important brazilian biomes that together cover more than half of the country's territory. They have a vast and rich plant diversity which often has a block in the germination process called dormancy ...

Environmental Regulation of Weed Seed Dormancy and Germination
Many weeds produce dormant seeds that are unable to complete germination under favourable conditions. There are two types of seed dormancy: primary dormancy (innate dormancy), in which seeds are in a dormant state upon release from the parent plant, and ...

The Relationship Between Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Tumor Dormancy
Tumor dormancy, a state of tumor, is clinically undetectable and the outgrowth of dormant tumor cells into overt metastases is responsible for cancer-associated deaths.

Dormancy and germination characteristics of Tarenaya hassleriana (Cleomaceae) seeds
: Elucidating the physiological and ecological mechanisms of seed dormancy and germination is of great significance for species conservation and the application of plant resources. Based on Baskin and Baskin’s classification system for seed dormancy, the

ABA Metabolism and Homeostasis in Seed Dormancy and Germination
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key hormone that promotes dormancy during seed development on the mother plant and after seed dispersal participates in the control of dormancy release and germination in response to environmental signals.

A Perspective on Secondary Seed Dormancy in Arabidopsis thaliana
Primary seed dormancy is the phenomenon whereby seeds newly shed by the mother plant are unable to germinate under otherwise favorable conditions for germination.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an essential role in the regulation of seed dormancy, germination, and deterioration in plants. The low level of ROS as signaling particles promotes dormancy release and triggers seed germination.

The Evolutionary Ecology of Dormancy in Nature and in Cancer
Dormancy is an inactive period of an organism’s life cycle that permits it to survive through phases of unfavorable conditions in highly variable environments. Dormancy is not binary. There is a continuum of dormancy phenotypes that represent some degree
