REVIEW ON DORMANCY, CAUSES, USES, AND MEASURES OF OVERCOMING IT [PDF]
Science Heritage Journal, 2023 The majority of both human and animal diets are made up mostly of seed, which is also the foundation and the first input used in the transmission of genetic features in crop development.

Quantification of Dormancy—Physiological and Biochemical Approaches [PDF]
HortScience, 1995 Quantification of seed dormancy has been achieved by measuring physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes accompanying dormancy release, as well as dormancy development. At the physiological level, dormancy is quantified in terms of stratification time, strength of embryo covering structures, embryo growth potential, responsiveness to light, and

A unifying, eco‐physiological framework for animal dormancy
Functional Ecology, 2020 AbstractVarious animals across the tree of life express some form of programmed dormancy (e.g. hibernation, diapause) to maximize fitness in highly seasonal environments. The integrated phenotype of animals undergoing programmed dormancy is strikingly similar among diverse groups; however, research on programmed dormancy has historically been ...

Effect of the seed coat on dormancy and germination in Stylosanthes humilis H. B. K. Seeds
Journal of Seed Science: Seed of Townsville stylo (Stylosanthes humilis H.B.K.) is known to exhibit a hard seed coat and when freshly harvested also show a physiological dormancy, however, the nature of the co-actions between seed coat and embryo growth that determine dormancy

Do methods for overcoming dormancy affect the physiological quality of okra seeds?
Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2023 One of the main obstacles in the okra production is the physical dormancy imposed by the tegument of the seeds. Although several methods for overcoming tegumentary dormancy have been proposed, little is known about their effect on the physiological ...
