Seed germination and dormancy represent critical phases in the plant life cycle, intricately balancing the timing of growth with environmental cues. Dormancy allows seeds to withstand unfavourable ...

Dec. 27 (UPI) --Several studies have highlighted the roles hormones play in enabling seed germination, the sprouting of a seedling, or small plant, from a seed, but much less is known about how energy ...

Scientists have identified a key gene that helps seeds decide whether to germinate. The MFT gene stops seeds germinating in the dark or under shady conditions, where their chances of survival would be ...
