Background Seed is vital for plant survival and dispersion, however, its development and
germination are influenced by various internal and external factors. Abscisic acid (ABA) is …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key hormone that promotes dormancy during seed development on
the mother plant and after seed dispersal participates in the control of dormancy release and …

Seed plants have evolved to maintain the dormancy of freshly matured seeds until the
appropriate time for germination. Seed dormancy and germination are distinct physiological …

The plant hormone ABA (abscisic acid) plays an extremely important role in plant growth
and adaptive stress, including but are not limited to seed germination, stomatal closure …

Drought is a severe environmental constraint, which significantly affects plant growth,
productivity, and quality. Plants have developed specific mechanisms that perceive the …

The ability of a seed to germinate and establish a plant at the right time of year is of vital
importance from an ecological and economical point of view. Due to the fragility of these …

Bud endodormancy is a complex physiological process that is indispensable for the survival,
growth, and development of deciduous perennial plants. The timely release of …

Sucrose nonfermenting 1 (SNF1)-related protein kinase 2s (SnRK2s) are central
