Pelleting of Physical Dormancy Small-Seeded Species in Astragalus sikokianus Nakai
Agronomy, 2023 Astragalus sikokianus is a rare Japanese perennial of the seashore that was reported to be extinct in the wild. The small seed size and deep dormancy of A. sikokianus make it difficult for direct seeding restoration in aspects of seed handling, transport,

Inter- and intra-population variability in physical dormancy along a precipitation gradient [PDF]
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2017 Physical dormancy enables plants that occur in temporally stochastic and harsh environments to survive; thus, within the distribution area of a species, the percentage of seeds with physical dormancy is expected to increase towards more arid and ...

Experimental Warming Hastens Physical Dormancy Break and Germination in Tropical Fabaceae. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2021 Climate warming may threaten the germination strategies of many plants that are uniquely adapted to today’s climate. For instance, species that employ physical dormancy (PY) – the production of seeds that are impermeable to water until high temperatures break them, consequently synchronizing germination with favorable growing conditions – may find that

ANTHOCYANIDIN REDUCTASE promotes physical dormancy in Medicago truncatula seeds. [PDF]
Plant PhysiolAbstract Physical dormancy, or hardseededness, refers to a type of dormancy in which seeds cannot germinate due to seed coat impermeability. Physical dormancy broadly exists in seed plants, especially in leguminous species, and plays an essential role in maintaining the durability of natural seed banks.

Seed fatty acid composition and physical dormancy in fire-prone ecosystems. [PDF]
Ann BotAbstract Background and Aims The maintenance of seed banks and timing of germination are fundamental to ensuring population persistence. Physical dormancy (PY) in disturbance-prone environments contributes to these processes via an impermeable seed coat.
