To germinate or not to germinate : a question of dormancy relief not germination stimulation [PDF]
, 2012 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.

Dormancy Breaking Treatments in Northern Wild Rice (Zizania palustris L.) Seed Suggest a Physiological Source of Dormancy [PDF]
Plant Growth Regulation, 2021 Abstract Dormancy is a limiting factor for breeding in northern wild rice (NWR; Zizania palustris L). This study developed a dormancy curve and tested a combination of scarification and hormone treatments, across three timepoints, for their ability to break dormancy in NWR and produce viable seedlings and plants.

Pre-harvest sprouting and grain dormancy in sorghum bicolor: What have we learned? [PDF]
, 2018 The possibility of obtaining sorghum grains with quality to match the standards for a diversity of end-uses is frequently hampered by the susceptibility to pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) displayed by many elite genotypes.

Bulb Dormancy In Vitro—Fritillaria meleagris: Initiation, Release and Physiological Parameters [PDF]
Plants, 2021 In ornamental geophytes, conventional vegetative propagation is not economically feasible due to very slow development and ineffective methods. It can take several years until a new plant is formed and commercial profitability is achieved. Therefore, micropropagation techniques have been developed to increase the multiplication rate and thus shorten ...

Temperature, light and nitrate sensing coordinate Arabidopsis seed dormancy cycling resulting in winter and summer annual phenotypes [PDF]
, 2013 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.

Physiology of Seed Dormancy and Germination-A Review
Journal of Pharmaceutical Research International, 2021 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.

The likely effects of thermal climate change on vertebrate skeletal muscle mechanics with possible consequences for animal movement and behaviour [PDF]
, 2019 Climate change can involve alteration in the local temperature that an animal is exposed to, which in turn may affect skeletal muscle temperature.
