Seed dormancy is an innate seed property that defines the environmental conditions in
which the seed is able to germinate. It is determined by genetics with a substantial …

Germination vigor is driven by the ability of the plant embryo, embedded within the seed, to
resume its metabolic activity in a coordinated and sequential manner. Studies using “-omics” …

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 …

Seed dormancy is an important component of plant fitness that causes a delay of
germination until the arrival of a favourable growth season. Dormancy is a complex trait that …

Nitric oxide (NO), a colorless gaseous molecule, is a lipophilic free radical that easily
diffuses through the plasma membrane. These characteristics make NO an ideal autocrine …

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 …

Various data indicate that nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenous signal in plants that mediates
responses to several stimuli. Experimental evidence in support of such signalling roles for …

Autophagy is a process in which cellular components are delivered to lytic vacuoles to be
recycled and has been demonstrated to promote abiotic/biotic stress tolerance. Here, we …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a signal molecule regarded as being involved in myriad functions in
plants under physiological, pathogenic, and adverse environmental conditions. Hydrogen …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that regulates seed dormancy and germination.
Seeds undergo changes in both ABA content and sensitivity during seed development and …
