Physical Seed Dormancy in Legumes: Molecular Advances and Perspectives [PDF]

Plants
Physical dormancy of seeds is a form of dormancy due to the presence of an impermeable seed coat layer, and it represents a feature for plants to adapt to environmental changes over an extended period of phylogenetic evolution.

A Modified Method to Assess Secondary Dormancy in the Seeds of Different Rapeseed Lines and Cultivars [PDF]

Journal of Genetic Resources, 2021
The exposure of seeds to undesirable soil conditions induces secondary dormancy and this causes many problems for seed producers. Assessing seed secondary dormancy potential is an important factor in developing rapeseed lines and cultivars.

Insights into the Genomic Architecture of Seed and Pod Quality Traits in the U.S. Peanut Mini-Core Diversity Panel

Plants, 2022
Traits such as seed weight, shelling percent, percent sound mature kernels, and seed dormancy determines the quality of peanut seed. Few QTL (quantitative trait loci) studies using biparental mapping populations have identified QTL for seed dormancy and ...

Release of Arabidopsis seed dormancy by cold atmospheric plasma relies on cytoplasmic glass transition [PDF]

J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. (2023), 2023
When mature Arabidopsis thaliana seeds are dormant, their germination is prevented in apparently favourable conditions. This primary dormancy can be released during seed dry storage through a process called after-ripening whose duration can last several months.

Understanding Molecular Mechanisms of Seed Dormancy for Improved Germination in Traditional Leafy Vegetables: An Overview

Agronomy, 2020
Loss of seed viability, poor and delayed germination, and inaccessibility to high-quality seeds are key bottlenecks limiting all-year-round production of African traditional leafy vegetables (TLVs).

Seed dormancy release of Halenia elliptica in response to stratification temperature, duration and soil moisture content

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Although the effect of cold stratification on seed dormancy release has been extensively studied for many species, knowledge of the role of stratifying temperature, soil moisture content and duration of stratification on seed dormancy release ...

Advances in the Understanding of Reactive Oxygen Species-Dependent Regulation on Seed Dormancy, Germination, and Deterioration in Crops

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an essential role in the regulation of seed dormancy, germination, and deterioration in plants. The low level of ROS as signaling particles promotes dormancy release and triggers seed germination.

Principles of seed banks: complexity emerging from dormancy [PDF]

Nat Commun 12, 4807 (2021), 2020
Across the tree of life, populations have evolved the capacity to contend with suboptimal conditions by engaging in dormancy, whereby individuals enter a reversible state of reduced metabolic activity. The resulting seed banks are complex, storing information and imparting memory that gives rise to multi-scale structures and networks spanning ...

Seed dormancy in ornamental plants: A review

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016
Seed is the first input used in transfer of genetic traits in ornamental plants production. Seed dormancy is a physiological phenomenon in plants, which is caused by external or internal factors, and prevents seed germination, even in optimal conditions.
