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 …

Key message A review of the available literature on genetics of yield and its component
traits, tolerance to abiotic stresses and biofortification should prove useful for future research …

Pre-harvest sprouting is a critical phenomenon involving the germination of seeds in the
mother plant before harvest under relative humid conditions and reduced dormancy. As it …

The reproductive compromise under heat stress is a major obstacle to achieve high grain
yield and quality in wheat worldwide. Securing reproductive success is the key solution to …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade is highly conserved across the
species triggering the self-adjustment of the cells by transmitting the external signals to the …

Main conclusion Early cytokinin activity and late abscisic acid dynamics during wheat kernel
development correspond to cultivars with higher yield potential. Cytokinins represent prime …

Abstract Pre‐harvest sprouting (PHS), germination of seeds before harvest, is a major
problem in global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production, and leads to reduced bread …

Seeds are the typical dispersal and propagation units of angiosperms and gymnosperms.
Water movement into and out of seeds plays a crucial role from the point of fertilization …

Loss of seed viability, poor and delayed germination, and inaccessibility to high-quality
seeds are key bottlenecks limiting all-year-round production of African traditional leafy …

Introduction Seed dormancy (SD) significantly decreases under high temperature (HT)
environment during seed maturation, resulting in pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) damage …
