Background and Aims Climate warming has major impacts on seed germination of several alpine species, hence on their regeneration capacity. Most studies have investigated the effects of warming after ...

Introduction -- Ecologically meaningful germination studies -- Types of seeds and kinds of seed dormancy -- Germination ecology of seeds with nondeep physiological dormancy -- Germination ecology of ...

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 ...

This study of lettuce and Arabidopsis shows for the first time that a gene known to direct the depth of seed dormancy and the timing of germination also influences flowering. The findings also suggest ...

Seed germination is a crucial step in the life cycle of a plant. This is why the small embryo is maintained in a state of dormancy until the appearance of optimal environmental conditions. The quality ...

I’ve been trying to grow a mimosa tree from pods I picked from a tree nearby, but I’m not having any luck. I’ve used green seeds, brown seeds, nipped the edges and placed them in potting soil. No luck ...
