A Hydrothermal After-ripening Time Model of Seed Dormancy Loss in Bromus tectorum
<p>After-ripening, the process of seed dormancy loss in dry storage is associated with a decrease in the mean base water potential, one of the parameters of hydrothermal time. The rate of change of the mean base water potential is assumed to be a linear function of temperature above a specific base …

Seed dormancy and germination niches of Mediterranean species along an altitudinal gradient in Sardinia
… it is also considered responsible for changes in dormancy states of seeds. Seed dormancy has probably evolved differently across species, through adaptation to various habitats and prevailing environments. Under a Mediterranean climate, characterised by a considerable unpredictability of …

Understanding the genetic and physiological control of pre-harvest sprouting and pre-maturity amylase in UK wheat
… exert their effects by affecting the dynamic of dormancy loss in grains, albeit at different stages of grain development and maturation. We also show that temperature during grain development and germination affect the expression of these QTL effects. In addition to the characterisation above, I …

Plant growth responses to winter climate change: from amongand within-species variation to plant-soil interactions
… effects on cold acclimation and deacclimation, dormancy loss and frost tolerance. Amongspecies variation was then compared with within-species variation to determine if a species could be largely treated as a single response unit under different climatic extremes. Plant-soil interactions were …
