Development of an efficient and eco-friendly technique to break tuber dormancy in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is highly demanded due to the production of two or more crops annually.

Nitric oxide sensing in plants is mediated by proteolytic control of group VII ERF transcription factors [PDF]
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling compound in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In plants, NO regulates critical developmental transitions and stress responses.

The genetics and physiology of seed dormancy, a crucial trait in common bean domestication [PDF]
Abstract Background Physical seed dormancy is an important trait in legume domestication. Although seed dormancy is beneficial in wild ecosystems, it is generally considered to be an undesirable trait in crops due to reduction in yield and / or quality. The physiological mechanism and underlying genetic factor(s) of seed

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.

Physiology of tuber dormancy and its mechanism of release in potato
The tuber dormancy is an important aspect of tuber’s physiological age and begins with tuber initiation. It is largely dependent on genotype, environmental conditions, and tuber age. The group Phureja among diploid potatoes, has a very short or no tuber dormancy while the tubers of Solanum jamesii, a wild potato species, may remain dormant for more ...

A Stochastic Adaptive Dynamics Model for Bacterial Populations with Mutation, Dormancy and Transfer [PDF]
This paper introduces a stochastic adaptive dynamics model for the interplay of several crucial traits and mechanisms in bacterial evolution, namely dormancy, horizontal gene transfer (HGT), mutation and competition. In particular, it combines the recent model of Champagnat, M\'el\'eard and Tran (2021) involving HGT with the model for competition ...

Effect of the seed coat on dormancy and germination in Stylosanthes humilis H. B. K. Seeds
: 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

Seed dormancy revisited: dormancy‐release pathways and environmental interactions
1. Many internal (inherent) and environmental (imposed) factors control seed dor - mancy and germination that we divide into three basic dormancy-release path - ways: Maternal structures and embryo physiology control inherent dormancy that is broken by ...

The impact of dormancy on evolutionary branching [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate the consequences of dormancy in the `rare mutation' and `large population' regime of stochastic adaptive dynamics. Starting from an individual-based micro-model, we first derive the polymorphic evolution sequence of the population, based on previous work by Baar and Bovier (2018). After passing to a second `small mutations'
