An international team of scientists, coordinated by a researcher from the U. of Granada, has found that seed dormancy (a property that prevents germination under non-favourable conditions) was a ...

MADISON, WI, JULY 1, 2003 – Weeds flourish in agricultural, urban, and natural settings because they have certain characteristics, such as seed dormancy, that provide for their persistence ...

Seeds remain in a dormant state as long as environmental conditions are not ideal for germination. The depth of this sleep is inherited from their mother. Researchers reveal how this maternal ...

As interest in using native plants increases, more home gardeners might be interested in starting perennial plants from seed. Native plants can be difficult to find in garden centers and ...

Seed dormancy is also why weeds are never-ending nuisances. Weed seeds can lurk underground unseen, and then when you till soil to make way for a flower bed, ...

Seed dormancy gives way to germination; the young plant emerges and grows; and finally in the climax of flowering, a new generation of seeds is produced. It’s remarkably predictable, but the genetics ...

After-ripening, an extension of seed maturation is pivotal for seed dormancy release, which has implications for germination and subsequent seedling robustness. The efficacy of this process varies ...
