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.

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).

Evaluation of the effects of drought stress of mother plants on some seed germination indices of Satureja hortensis [PDF]
مدیریت بیابان, 2017 Seed germination indices can be affected by drought stress in ripening stage of seeds on mother plant. In this study, four water stress treatments (100, 75, 50 and 25% of field capacity (FC)) were imposed during seed maturation of Satureja hortensis ...

Proteomics of rice seed germination [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Seed is a condensed form of plant. Under suitable environmental conditions, it can resume the metabolic activity from physiological quiescent status, and mobilize the reserves, biosynthesize new proteins, regenerate organelles, and cell membrane, eventually protrude the radicle and enter into seedling establishment.
