Seed dormancy provides a mechanism for plants to delay germination until conditions are
optimal for survival of the next generation. Dormancy release is regulated by a combination …

Seed dormancy allows seeds to overcome periods that are unfavourable for seedling
established and is therefore important for plant ecology and agriculture. Several processes …

Salinity stress negatively affects the plant's developmental stages through micronutrient
imbalance. As an essential micronutrient, ZnO can substitute Na+ absorption under saline …

Active oxygen species (AOS) are involved in various aspects of seed physiology. Their
generation, which occurs during seed desiccation, germination and ageing, may lead to …

Cyanobacteria III. Peroxidase Activity of Peroxiredoxins IV. Conformational Dynamics and …

Vegetative desiccation tolerance is a widespread but uncommon occurrence in the plant
kingdom generally. The majority of vegetative desiccation-tolerant plants are found in the …

Among major reactive oxygen species (ROS), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) exhibits dual roles
in plant metabolism. Low levels of H2O2 modulate many biological/physiological processes …

Most higher plants are unable to survive desiccation to an air-dried state. An exception is a
small group of vascular angiosperm plants, termed resurrection plants. They have evolved …

Resurrection plants are regarded as excellent models to study the mechanisms associated
with desiccation tolerance. During the past years tremendous progress has been made in …

Physiologically dormant seeds, like those of Arabidopsis, will cycle through dormant states
as seasons change until the environment is favourable for seedling establishment. This …
