Seed Coat Development and Dormancy [PDF]
, 2007 Two major types of dormancy mechanisms exist: embryo dormancy where the agents inhibiting germination are inherent to the embryo, and coat-imposed dormancy where inhibition is conferred by the seed envelopes (Bewley, 1997). Generally, complex interactions between the embryo and covering structures determine whether a seed will germinate.
