One of the most remarkable biological insights in the past 30 years has been that many
genetic programs for complex traits, such as flower or limb development, are shared across …

Metabolomics approaches enable the parallel assessment of the levels of a broad range of
metabolites and have been documented to have great value in both phenoty** and …

Seed longevity is a central pivot of the preservation of biodiversity, being of main importance
to face the challenges linked to global climate change and population growth. This complex …

Seed longevity, the maintenance of viability during storage, is a crucial factor for
preservation of genetic resources and ensuring proper seedling establishment and high …

The seed expressed gene DELAY OF GERMINATION (DOG) 1 is absolutely required for the
induction of dormancy. Next to a non‐dormant phenotype, the dog1‐1 mutant is also …

Seed performance after dispersal is highly dependent on parental environmental cues,
especially during seed formation and maturation. Here we examine which environmental …

Seed longevity is a central actor in plant germplasm resource conservation, species
reproduction, geographical distribution, crop yield and quality and food processing and …

Proteomics approaches have been a useful tool for determining the biological roles and
functions of individual proteins and identifying the molecular mechanisms that govern seed …

In seeds, desiccation tolerance (DT) and the ability to survive the dry state for prolonged
periods of time (longevity) are two essential traits for seed quality that are consecutively …

The preservation of our genetic resources and production of high-quality seeds depends on
their ability to remain viable and vigorous during storage. In a quantitative trait locus analysis …
