A VEL3 histone deacetylase complex establishes a maternal epigenetic state controlling progeny seed dormancy [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Mother plants play an important role in the control of dormancy and dispersal characters of their progeny. In Arabidopsis seed dormancy is imposed by the embryo-surrounding tissues of the endosperm and seed coat.

Seed Coat Development and Dormancy [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Seed dormancy in alpine species [PDF]

open access: yesFlora - Morphology, Distribution, Functional Ecology of Plants, 2011
In alpine species the classification of the various mechanisms underlying seed dormancy has been rather questionable and controversial. Thus, we investigated 28 alpine species to evaluate the prevailing types of dormancy. Embryo type and water impermeability of seed coats gave an indication of the potential seed dormancy class.

Evaluation of techniques to break seed dormancy in Redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
If we understand factors that trigger seed dormancy release, then we can accurately predict whether the seed will remain dormant or germinate out of the seed bank.

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

open access: yesAgronomy, 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

open access: yesBMC 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 ...

Seed Dormancy Class and Ecophysiological Features of Veronicastrum sibiricum (L.) Pennell (Scrophulariaceae) Native to the Korea Peninsula

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Veronicastrum sibiricum is a perennial species distributed in Korea, Japan, Manchuria, China, and Siberia. This study aimed to determine the requirements for germination and dormancy break of V.

Seed Dormancy in Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) Is Influenced by Genotype and Environment

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
Seed dormancy complicates the agricultural use of many legume species. Understanding the genetic and environmental drivers of seed dormancy is necessary for advancing crop improvement for legumes, such as Vicia villosa.

Seed dormancy in ornamental plants: A review

open access: yesThe 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.

Arabidopsis Histone Demethylases LDL1 and LDL2 Control Primary Seed Dormancy by Regulating DELAY OF GERMINATION 1 and ABA Signaling-Related Genes

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Seed dormancy controls germination and plays a critical role in regulating the beginning of the life cycle of plants. Seed dormancy is established and maintained during seed maturation and is gradually broken during dry storage (after-ripening).
