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.

ALLEVIATION OF SALINITY STRESS IN LETTUCE DURING GERMINATION BY SEED PRIMING [PDF]
Journal of Plant Production, 2011 Using seed priming as a tool to overcome salinity stress conditions on lettuce Lactuca sativa L. (White Paris cv.) was studied. Seeds were primed in 5 different priming agents (PEG, KNO3, NaCl, CaCl2, Mannitol) plus the control treatment (without ...
