Researchers are working to unravel the hidden biology of often-persnickety seeds as they age, sleep and awaken ...

Seeds remain in a dormant state, a temporary blockage of their germination, as long as environmental conditions are not ideal for germination. The depth of this dormancy, which is influenced by ...

The seed coat of Lupines is hard, which impedes the water imbibition that is essential to break the dormancy of seed, thereby inhibiting germination. Dormancy of Lupine seed can be broken by the ...

Two major causes for unsuccessful tree seed germination are hard seed coats and dormant seed embryos. Both conditions are species-specific and every tree species has to subject the seeds to unique ...

1. Dormancy in seeds results generally from the inhibition of one or more of the processes preceding or accompanying germination. The problems are becoming questions of the conditions for growth of ...

Seed Biology published a paper entitled, "Preliminary identification of the changes of physiological characteristics and transcripts in rice after-ripened seeds," on 25 April 2023. In this study ...

Seeds remain in a dormant state -- a temporary blockage of their germination -- as long as environmental conditions are not ideal for germination. The depth of this sleep, which is influenced by ...
