Physiology of Seed Dormancy and Germination-A Review
Seed dormancy is considered as an inherent property which outlines the environmental conditions in which the seed is accomplished to evolve. To better understand seed dormancy mechanisms, a series of rigorous studies examining seed metabolism in relation to gibberellin and abscisic acid have been organised.

Clipping and Gibberellin Treatments Promote Germination in Dormant Grape Seeds
‘Crimson Cabernet’ grape (Vitis vinifera) seeds showed physiological dormancy and germinated at ∼60% after 60 days of chilling stratification. Fresh seeds harvested after physiological maturity and sown without drying failed to germinate after 30 days ...

Morphological and anatomical changes during dormancy break of the seeds of Fritillaria taipaiensis
Fritillaria taipaiensis P. Y. Li is the most suitable species planted at low altitudes among other species used as Tendrilleaf Fritillary Bulb, whose seeds embracing the morphological and physiological dormancy need to experience a long-dormant time from

Quantification of Bud Dormancy—Physiological Approaches [PDF]
The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the value of identifying growth stages of bud dormancy numerically. The Degree Growth Stage Model (°GS Model) will be used to quantify the annual growth stages and the various developmental stages of endo-, eco-, and paradormancy.

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

Seed dormancy and germination [PDF]
Seed dormancy allows seeds to overcome periods that are unfavourable for seedling established and is therefore important for plant ecology and agriculture. Several processes are known to be involved in the induction of dormancy and in the switch from the

Physiological quality and dormancy of rice seeds during storage
Storage is a set of techniques adopted during the off-season, aiming at conditioning the seeds to maintain their quality for the next harvest. The study of effect by storage is important to know the performance of dormancy under different environments ...

Temperature, light and nitrate sensing coordinate Arabidopsis seed dormancy cycling resulting in winter and summer annual phenotypes [PDF]
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.

To germinate or not to germinate : a question of dormancy relief not germination stimulation [PDF]
A common understanding of the control of germination through dormancy is essential for effective communication between seed scientists whether they are ecologists, physiologists or molecular biologists. Vleeshouwers et al.
