signaling pertaining to unheralded environmental cues, such as salinity, drought, extreme …

Seed vigor in crops is important in terms of improving grain quality and germplasm
conservation; however, little is known about its regulatory mechanisms through the encoded …

Both seed germination and early seedling establishment are important biological processes
in a plant's lifecycle. Seed longevity is a key trait in agriculture, which directly influences …

Seed longevity is a central actor in plant germplasm resource conservation, species
