Environment sensing in spring-dispersed seeds of a winter annual Arabidopsis influences the regulation of dormancy to align germination potential with seasonal changes [PDF]

, 2014
Seed dormancy cycling plays a crucial role in the lifecycle timing of many plants. Little is known of how the seeds respond to the soil seed bank environment following dispersal in spring into the short-term seed bank before seedling emergence in autumn.

Phytochrome E Plays a Role in the Suppression of Germination in Far‐Red Light in Tomato

Plant Direct, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT As photoautotrophs, plants use light not only as a source of energy but also as cues for directing growth and development. Phytochromes comprise a small gene family of plant specific light receptors that absorb mostly in the red/far‐red portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Understanding the mechanisms behind onion bulb dormancy in relation to the potential for improved onion storage [PDF]

, 2006
Onion (Allium cepa L.) is the most economically important Allium crop. Onion cultivars adapted for growth in temperate regions require long days for bulb initiation, so the summer crop is stored over-winter.

Storage Effects on Shea (Vitellaria paradoxa C.F. Gaertn) Seed Radicle Protrusion and Plumule Development

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Delayed sowing of the recalcitrant shea seeds leads to a reduction in radicle protrusion and seedling emergence. Although storage of shea seeds results in a rapid decline in viability, it is necessary when the nursery is not ready for immediate seeding.

Soybean hypocotyl elongation is regulated by a MYB33‐SWEET11/21‐GA2ox8c module involving long‐distance sucrose transport

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 22, Issue 10, Page 2859-2872, October 2024.
Summary The length of hypocotyl affects the height of soybean and lodging resistance, thus determining the final grain yield. However, research on soybean hypocotyl length is scarce, and the regulatory mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we identified a module controlling the transport of sucrose, where sucrose acts as a messenger moved from ...

The Co-Occurrence of Physiological and Epicotyl Physiological Dormancy in Three Desiccation-Sensitive Castanopsis (Fagaceae) Acorns from China with Specific Reference to the Embryonic Axis Position

, 2023
Ecological significance of dormancy in desiccation-sensitive seeds is poorly understood. Quercus exhibits mutually exclusive occurrence of physiological (PD) and epicotyl dormancy (ePD), with no reported co-occurrence or dormancy class in other genera ...

International Biological Flora: Ceratonia siliqua

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1885-1922, August 2024.
The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) has a long traditional history in Mediterranean cultures providing food for humans and domestic animals. Its remarkable tolerance of drought, salt and fire, with an ability to thrive in poor, dry soils, makes it ideal for a warming Mediterranean climate.

Effects of different levels of gibberellic acid and potassium nitrate solutions on the emergence and seedling vigor of amaranth and Cleome gynandra

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 7, Issue 1, March 2024.
Abstract The effects of gibberellic acid and potassium nitrate on seed emergence and seedling growth of amaranth and Cleome gynandra were investigated in the greenhouse at Marondera University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology. The study was laid out in a factorial layout within a completely randomized design replicated three times.

Soybean planting date and seeding rate effect on germinability and vigor of harvested seed

Crop Science, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 903-913, March/April 2024.
Abstract Seed is one of the most crucial inputs for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production due to its influence on plant population, uniformity, and yield, as well as its cost as an input. Seeds of good quality have high germinability and vigor, providing an adequate stand with uniformly good growth and development even under adverse conditions ...
