Hormonal Orchestration of Bud Dormancy Cycle in Deciduous Woody Perennials
Woody perennials enter seasonal dormancy to avoid unfavorable environmental conditions. Plant hormones are the critical mediators regulating this complex process, which is subject to the influence of many internal and external factors.

Drivers of vegetative dormancy across herbaceous perennial plant species
AbstractVegetative dormancy, that is the temporary absence of aboveground growth for ≥ 1 year, is paradoxical, because plants cannot photosynthesise or flower during dormant periods. We test ecological and evolutionary hypotheses for its widespread persistence. We show that dormancy has evolved numerous times.

The grain yield modulator miR156 regulates seed dormancy through the gibberellin pathway in rice
The widespread agricultural problem of pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) could potentially be overcome by improving seed dormancy. Here, we report that miR156, an important grain yield regulator, also controls seed dormancy in rice.

Effect of physical and chemical treatments on breaking seed dormancy of datura (Datura stramonium L.) [PDF]
Datura is an important medicinal plant for production of various alkaloids. Seed dormancy and the problem of germination is the most important barrier to produce this plant. In order to solve the germination problem in this important medicinal plant, the
