Sowing seeds for the future: the need for establishing protocols for the study of seed dormancy

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2013
Seed dormancy is a widely misunderstood plant trait. In several research areas, a lack of germination is wrongly assumed to result from seed dormancy. In an attempt to standardize seed dormancy research and improve communication among seed scientists, a ...

After-ripening induced transcriptional changes of hormonal genes in wheat seeds: the cases of brassinosteroids, ethylene, cytokinin and salicylic acid. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Maintenance and release of seed dormancy is regulated by plant hormones; their levels and seed sensitivity being the critical factors. This study reports transcriptional regulation of brassinosteroids (BR), ethylene (ET), cytokinin (CK) and salicylic ...

Seed Dormancy Release and Germination Requirements of Cinnamomum migao, an Endangered and Rare Woody Plant in Southwest China

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Seed dormancy is a complex adaptive trait of plants that are influenced by several physiological and environmental factors. The endangered plant Cinnamomum migao is also known to exhibit seed dormancy and low germination, which may influence its ...

Combining drought survival via summer dormancy and annual biomass productivity in Dactylis glomerata L.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Under Mediterranean climates, the best strategy to produce rain-fed fodder crops is to develop perennial drought resistant varieties. Summer dormancy present in native germplasm has been shown to confer a high level of survival under severe drought ...

A Perspective on Secondary Seed Dormancy in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plants, 2020
Primary seed dormancy is the phenomenon whereby seeds newly shed by the mother plant are unable to germinate under otherwise favorable conditions for germination.

Regulating bulb dormancy release and flowering in lily through chemical modulation of intercellular communication

Plant Methods, 2023
Lily is a bulbous plant with an endogenous dormancy trait. Fine-tuning bulb dormancy release is still a challenge in the development of bulb storage technology. In this study, we identified three regulators of symplastic transport, 2,3-Butanedione oxime (

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Genome-Wide Identification of MAPKK and MAPKKK Gene Family Members and Transcriptional Profiling Analysis during Bud Dormancy in Pear (Pyrus x bretschneideri)

Plants, 2022
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade consisting of three types of reversibly major signal transduction module (MAPKKK, MAPKK, and MAPK) is distributed in eukaryotes.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) releases seed dormancy by orchestrating abscisic acid and gibberellin metabolism and signaling

BMC Plant Biology
Background Seed dormancy release, regulated by abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin (GA), is essential for plant development and yield. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is known to mediate plant stress responses; however, its role in seed dormancy release ...
