Experimental Agriculture, 2001 The tubers of yam, principally those of Dioscorea rotundata (white Guinea yam) and D. alata (water or greater yam), are important staple foods and sources of carbohydrate in West Africa. Yams are grown in diverse environments – from the high-rainfall forest zone on the coast to the seasonally arid savannas of West Africa, that is in situations in which

A Conceptual Framework for Winter Dormancy in Deciduous Trees
, 2020 The perennial life strategy of temperate trees relies on establishing a dormant stage during winter to survive unfavorable conditions. To overcome this dormant stage, trees require cool (i.e., chilling) temperatures as an environmental cue.

Agronomy, 2023 Fall dormancy plays important roles in the evaluation of alfalfa’s winter hardiness and in the selection of alfalfa breeding. A rapid and effective method to estimate the fall dormancy rating of alfalfa will shorten the breeding cycle.

QTL mapping for microtuber dormancy and GA3 content in a diploid potato population
Biology Open, 2018 The genetic control of dormancy is poorly understood in most plant species, but dormancy is a prominent feature for the potato industry. We used the microtuber system, in which tubers were produced in vitro and stored at 20°C, to perform quantitative ...

Principles of seed banks: complexity emerging from dormancy [PDF]
Nat Commun 12, 4807 (2021), 2020 Across the tree of life, populations have evolved the capacity to contend with suboptimal conditions by engaging in dormancy, whereby individuals enter a reversible state of reduced metabolic activity. The resulting seed banks are complex, storing information and imparting memory that gives rise to multi-scale structures and networks spanning ...

Horticulturae, 2021 Adequate chill is of great importance for successful production of deciduous fruit trees. However, temperate fruit trees grown under tropical and subtropical regions may face insufficient winter chill, which has a crucial role in dormancy and ...

Co-Contagion Diffusion on Multilayer Networks [PDF]
Applied Network Science. 4.78 (2019), 2019 This study examines the interface of three elements during co-contagion diffusion: the \textbf{synergy} between contagions, the \textbf{dormancy} rate of each individual contagion, and the \textbf{multiplex network topology}. Dormancy is defined as a weaker form of "immunity," where dormant nodes no longer actively participate in diffusion, but are ...

Plants, 2019 The effect of the exogenous hormone and light quality on breaking hypocotyl and epicotyl dormancy was studied. The results showed that the greatest percentage of hypocotyl dormancy breaking was observed with the Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium ...

Physical Seed Dormancy in Legumes: Molecular Advances and Perspectives
PlantsPhysical dormancy of seeds is a form of dormancy due to the presence of an impermeable seed coat layer, and it represents a feature for plants to adapt to environmental changes over an extended period of phylogenetic evolution.
