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 …

Plasma agriculture details the role of nonthermal plasma in the development of plants from
seeds to crops. Several publications reported enhanced plant growth, improved stress …

Light-emitting diode (LED) technology has rapidly advanced the past years and it is
nowadays irrevocably linked with controlled-environment agriculture (CEA). We provide …

Light is crucial for plant life, and perception of the light environment dictates plant growth,
morphology, and developmental changes. Such adjustments in growth and development in …

Hydrogen peroxide was initially recognized as a toxic molecule that causes damage at
different levels of cell organization and thus losses in cell viability. From the 1990s, the role …

Seed dormancy and germination are two closely linked physiological traits that have great
impacts on adaptation and survival of seed plants. Seed dormancy strengthen and …

Salinity stress enhances reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation by activating the
transcription of NADPH oxidase genes such as RbohD, thus mediating plant developmental …

The transition from dormancy to germination in seeds is a key physiological process during
the lifecycle of plants. Abscisic acid (ABA) is the sole plant hormone known to maintain seed …

Anthropogenic pollution of agricultural soils with cadmium (Cd) should receive adequate
attention as Cd accumulation in crops endangers human health. When Cd is present in the …

Abscisic acid (ABA) and jasmonic acid (JA) both inhibit seed germination, but their
interactions during this process remain elusive. Here, we report the identification of a …
