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.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Using a bottom‐up approach, we engineered a human neuromuscular microchip to investigate distinct adaptive responses to neural stimulation and metabolic stress. Further integration of endothelial cells revealed their critical role in modulating neuromuscular excitability, establishing a comprehensive neurovascular‐muscular model.

In vitro germination to overcome dormancy in seeds of ‘Red Globe’, ‘Italia’ and ‘Niagara Rosada’ grapes [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2019 Dormancy in grape seeds slows the progress of many breeding programs of the crop, culminating in low uniformity and low germination percentages. Conventional methods used to overcome dormancy are time-consuming. Thus, in vitro seed germination emerges as

Regulation of seed germination in the close Arabidopsis relative Lepidium sativum : a global tissue-specific transcript analysis [PDF]
, 2011 The completion of germination in Lepidium sativum and other endospermic seeds (e.g. Arabidopsis [Arabidopsis thaliana]) is regulated by two opposing forces, the growth potential of the radicle (RAD) and the resistance to this growth from the micropylar ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A closed U‐shaped microfluidic platform symmetrically embeds a single, size‐controlled HT29 colorectal cancer spheroid within a GFP‐HUVEC‐laden fibrin matrix. HT29 spheroids are associated with hyper‐branched endothelial network remodeling, while vascularized co‐culture is accompanied by anisotropic protrusive growth and EMT‐like marker changes in the ...

Mechanism of endocarp-imposed constraints of germination of Lannea microcarpa seeds [PDF]
, 2008 Lannea microcarpa, a multipurpose tree species from the dry African savanna, sheds seeds that often display inhibition of germination. The underlying mechanism was investigated using seeds processed from fully matured fruits collected from natural stands
