Journal ArticleDOI

A classification system for seed dormancy

TL;DR: It is suggested that a modified version of the scheme of the Russian seed physiologist Marianna G. Nikolaeva be adopted and includes three hierarchical layers – class, level and type; thus, a class may contain levels and types, and a level may contain only types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taxonomy, anatomy and evolution of physical dormancy in seeds

TL;DR: Phylogenetic data and fossil evidence seem to support the PY→(PY+PD) evolutionary sequence in Anacardiaceae, which also may have occured in Leguminosae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Germination ecophysiology of herbaceous plant species in a temperate region

TL;DR: The purpose of these studies was to determine if there are correlations between the dormancy breaking and germination requirements of seeds and the germination phenology, life cycle type, habitat requirements, range of geographical distribution, and phylogenetic relationships of the species.
Journal ArticleDOI

A critical update on seed dormancy. I. Primary dormancy

TL;DR: It is concluded that ABA action in dormancy regulation is not restricted to the embryo but is also located in endospermic tissue, and a role of ABA in the morphological development of germination modifying seed tissues is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implications of weed seedbank dynamics to weed management

TL;DR: The principles of plant ecology must be integrated with the science of weed management to develop strategies that take advantage of basic plant responses in weed management systems for agronomic crops.
