To survive in the dry state, orthodox seeds acquire desiccation tolerance. As maturation
progresses, the seeds gradually acquire longevity, which is the total timespan during which …

The possibility of obtaining sorghum grains with quality to match the standards for a diversity
of end-uses is frequently hampered by the susceptibility to pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) …

Key message Genome-wide association study of diverse barley genotypes identified loci,
single nucleotide polymorphisms and candidate genes that control seed dormancy and …

Background Seed dormancy, a quality characteristic that plays a role in seed germination,
seedling establishment and grain yield, is affected by multiple genes and environmental …

Background Crop response to the changing climate and unpredictable effects of global
warming with adverse conditions such as drought stress has brought concerns about food …

Abstract Key message Several QTLs and genes responsible for seed dormancy were
detected and SNP candidates were shown to cause changes in seed germination. Abstract …

Background Drought is the most disastrous abiotic stress that severely affects agricultural
productivity worldwide. Understanding the biological basis of drought-regulated traits …

To address the plant adaptability of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) in salinity, the research
focus should shift from only selecting tolerant varieties to understanding the precise whole …

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is a common threat to cereal crops in which the grain
