Mother plants play an important role in the control of dormancy and dispersal characters of
their progeny. In Arabidopsis seed dormancy is imposed by the embryo-surrounding tissues …

Programmed cell death (PCD) plays crucial roles in plant development and defence
response. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced during normal plant growth, and …

Autophagy is a conserved quality control pathway that mediates the degradation of cellular
