The conservation physiology of seed dispersal [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012 At a time when plant species are experiencing increasing challenges from climate change, land-use change, harvesting and invasive species, dispersal has become a very important aspect of plant conservation. Seed dispersal by animals is particularly important because some animals disperse seeds to suitable sites in a directed fashion. Our review has two

Factors Influencing Seed Dormancy and Germination and Advances in Seed Priming Technology
PlantsSeed dormancy and germination play pivotal roles in the agronomic traits of plants, and the degree of dormancy intuitively affects the yield and quality of crops in agricultural production.

Characterization of and genetic variation for tomato seed thermo-inhibition and thermo-dormancy
BMC Plant Biology, 2018 Background Exposing imbibed seeds to high temperatures may lead to either thermo-inhibition of germination or thermo-dormancy responses. In thermo-inhibition, seed germination is inhibited but quickly resumed when temperatures are lowered. Upon prolonged
