Seed dormancy and germination [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Reproduction is a critical time in plant life history. Therefore, genes affecting seed dormancy and germination are among those under strongest selection in natural plant populations. Germination terminates seed dispersal and thus influences the location and timing of plant growth.

Seed dormancy and germination - Emerging mechanisms and new hypotheses
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Seed dormancy has played a significant role in adaptation and evolution of seed plants. While its biological significance is clear, molecular mechanisms underlying seed dormancy induction, maintenance and alleviation still remain elusive.

Nature 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.

Tanned or burned: the role of fire in shaping physical seed dormancy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Plant species with physical seed dormancy are common in mediterranean fire-prone ecosystems. Because fire breaks seed dormancy and enhances the recruitment of many species, this trait might be considered adaptive in fire-prone environments.

Seed dormancy in alpine species
Flora - 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.

Environmental Regulation of Weed Seed Dormancy and Germination
Seeds, 2023 Many weeds produce dormant seeds that are unable to complete germination under favourable conditions. There are two types of seed dormancy: primary dormancy (innate dormancy), in which seeds are in a dormant state upon release from the parent plant, and ...

Factors Affecting Seed Dormancy and Germination of Greater Bur-Parsley (Turgenia latifolia) [PDF]
Planta Daninha, 2018 : Our knowledge about seed dormancy breaking and environmental factors affecting seed germination of greater bur-parsley (Turgenia latifolia) is restricted.

Polymorphic homoeolog of key gene of RdDM pathway, ARGONAUTE4_9 class is associated with pre-harvest sprouting in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Resistance to pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is an important objective for the genetic improvement of many cereal crops, including wheat. Resistance, or susceptibility, to PHS is mainly influenced by seed dormancy, a complex trait.

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.
