Expression of ABA metabolism-related genes suggests similarities and differences between seed dormancy and bud dormancy of peach (Prunus persica) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Dormancy inhibits seed and bud growth of perennial plants until the environmental conditions are optimal for survival. Previous studies indicated that certain co-regulation pathways exist in seed and bud dormancy. In our study, we found that seed and bud

The VHL tumor suppressor at the crossroad of protein folding, aggregation, and cancer. [PDF]
Mol OncolMutations, environmental stress, and chaperone dysfunction can destabilize pVHL, promoting its conversion from the native folded state into amyloid‐like assemblies. This transition may contribute to protein storage, cell dormancy, survival, and drug resistance.

The Relationship Between Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Tumor Dormancy
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 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.

A Perspective on Secondary Seed Dormancy in Arabidopsis thaliana
Plants, 2020 Primary seed dormancy is the phenomenon whereby seeds newly shed by the mother plant are unable to germinate under otherwise favorable conditions for germination.

The Evolutionary Ecology of Dormancy in Nature and in Cancer
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 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

Seed dormancy in ornamental plants: A review
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016 Seed is the first input used in transfer of genetic traits in ornamental plants production. Seed dormancy is a physiological phenomenon in plants, which is caused by external or internal factors, and prevents seed germination, even in optimal conditions.

Temperature, light and nitrate sensing coordinate Arabidopsis seed dormancy cycling resulting in winter and summer annual phenotypes [PDF]
, 2013 Seeds use environmental cues to sense the seasons and their surroundings to initiate the plants life cycle. Dormancy cycling underlying this process is extensively described, but the molecular mechanism is largely unknown.

What is microbial dormancy? [PDF]
, 2023 Life can be stressful. One way to deal with stress is to simply wait it out. Microbes do this by entering a state of reduced activity and increased resistance commonly called ‘dormancy’. But what is dormancy?
