Seed dormancy is an adaptive trait that does not allow the germination of an intact viable
seed under favorable environmental conditions. Non-dormant seeds or seeds with low level …

Gibberellic acid (GA), a plant hormone stimulating plant growth and development, is a
tetracyclic di-terpenoid compound. GAs stimulate seed germination, trigger transitions from …

Communication between source organs (exporters of photoassimilates) and sink organs
(importers of fixed carbon) has a pivotal role in carbohydrate assimilation and partitioning …

Plants exhibit a unique developmental flexibility to ever-changing environmental conditions.
To achieve their profound adaptability, plants are able to maintain permanent stem cell …

Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates many agronomically important aspects of plant development,
including the synthesis of seed storage proteins and lipids, the promotion of seed …

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 …

WRKY transcription factors (TFs) are key regulators of many plant processes, including the
responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, senescence, seed dormancy and seed germination …

The antagonistic crosstalk between gibberellic acid (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) plays a
pivotal role in the modulation of seed germination. However, the molecular mechanism of …

During drought, the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) triggers stomatal closure, thus
reducing water loss. Using infrared thermography, we isolated two allelic Arabidopsis …

The CDPK-SnRK superfamily consists of seven types of serine-threonine protein kinases:
calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPKs), CDPK-related kinases (CRKs), phospho enol …
