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” …

Most plant seeds are dispersed in a dry, mature state. If these seeds are non-dormant and
the environmental conditions are favourable, they will pass through the complex process of …

Seed germination is crucial stage in plant development and can be considered as a
determinant for plant productivity. Physiological and biochemical changes followed by …

Mitochondrial respiration and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity are required during salt
stress in plants to provide ATP and reductants for adaptive processes such as ion exclusion …

Germination is a complex process during which the seed must quickly recover physically
from maturation drying, resume a sustained intensity of metabolism, complete essential …

Simple Summary Seeds are the reproductive units of higher plants. They have a significant
place in agriculture and plant diversity maintenance. Because they are dehydrated, they can …

Seed priming is a pre‐germination treatment administered through various chemical,
physical and biological agents, which induce mild stress during the early phases of …

Alpha-amylase, the major form of amylase with secondary carbohydrate binding sites, is a
crucial enzyme throughout the growth period and life cycle of angiosperm. In rice, alpha …

MapMan is a software tool that supports the visualization of profiling data sets in the context
of existing knowledge. Scavenger modules generate hierarchical and essentially non …

Plastid genes are transcribed by two types of RNA polymerase in angiosperms: the bacterial
type plastid-encoded RNA polymerase (PEP) and one (RPOTp in monocots) or two (RPOTp …
