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 ...

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

, 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

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).
