The biomechanics of seed germination [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2016 From a biomechanical perspective, the completion of seed (and fruit) germination depends on the balance of two opposing forces: the growth potential of the embryonic axis (radicle-hypocotyl growth zone) and the restraint of the seed-covering layers (endosperm, testa, and pericarp).

Physical seed damage, not rodent's saliva, accelerates seed germination of trees in a subtropical forest [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMany tree species adopt fast seed germination to escape the predation risk by rodents. Physical seed damage and the saliva of rodents on partially consumed seeds may act as cues for seeds to accelerate germination process.

Seed Dormancy and Germination [PDF]
The Arabidopsis Book, 2008 Seed dormancy allows seeds to overcome periods that are unfavourable for seedling established and is therefore important for plant ecology and agriculture. Several processes are known to be involved in the induction of dormancy and in the switch from the dormant to the germinating state.

Germination characteristics among different sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis) germplasm during the seed development and after-ripening stages [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel) is an important forage grass in the Eurasian steppe. However, little information is available concerning its seed morphological features and germination characteristics during seed development and after ...

Variability of Italian ryegrass and perennial ryegrass seed quality produced in two different regions [PDF]
Journal on Processing and Energy in Agriculture, 2017 The paper presents the results of four seed lots produced in Serbia and Belarus in two years, and examines the influence of their quality on 1000 seed mass, germination energy and total germination.

PLoS ONE, 2021 Conyza sumatrensis (Retz.) E. H. Walker is an obnoxious weed, emerging as an invasive species globally. Seed germination biology of four populations of the species stemming from arid, semi-arid, temperate, and humid regions was determined in this study ...

New Phytologist, 2020 As abscisic acid (ABA) receptors, PYR1/PYL/RCAR (PYLs) play important roles in ABA-mediated seed germination, but the regulation of PYLs in this process, especially at the transcriptional level, is still unclear.

Methodological contribution on seed germination and seedling initial growth tests in wild plants
Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2023 The text is intended for biologists and ecologists working with wild plant species. The article draws attention to possible methodological inaccuracies in determining seed germination and in various attempts to manipulate the seeds of wild plant species.

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.

New Phytologist, 2020 Summary Abscisic acid (ABA) and jasmonic acid (JA) both inhibit seed germination, but their interactions during this process remain elusive. Here, we report the identification of a ‘SAPK10‐bZIP72‐AOC’ pathway, through which ABA promotes JA biosynthesis ...
