a time period in which the seed will not germinate and is unreceptive to outside signals
Seed dormancy is a period where a viable seed is prevented from germinating even under optimal conditions, while seed quiescence is a state where a seed is capable of germination but does not because of unfavorable environmental conditions. Dormancy is more of an inherent property of the seed, while quiescence can be induced by external factors.
germination
Physiological dormancy is a type of seed dormancy where the embryo is underdeveloped and unable to germinate even under suitable conditions. This dormancy is mainly regulated by internal factors within the seed that need to be overcome for germination to occur.
An embryo inside the seed rests during dormancy
The inactive stage of a seed is known as dormancy. During dormancy, the seed is in a state of suspended animation, waiting for the right conditions to germinate and start growing into a plant.
dormancy
Exogenous dormancy refers to a period of dormancy induced by external factors such as environmental conditions like temperature or humidity. This type of dormancy is not inherent to the seed itself but is a response to external stimuli.
Oxalic acid prevents seed growth by putting the seed into a stage of dormancy.....
Seed dormancy is a condition of plant seeds that prevents germination when the seeds are under optimal environmental conditions for germination. Living, non dormant seeds germinate when soil temperatures and moisture conditions are suited for cellular processes and division; dormant seeds do not.
Seed Dormancy is a problem in which seed is unable to germinate in a specific period of time, under the most suitable environment.
The ability of a seed to postpone development during harsh environmental conditions is known as dormancy. This allows the seed to wait until conditions are more favorable for germination and growth.
Germination is when a plant grows from a seed. It occurs between the dormancy stage of a seed and the establishment stage of the seed.
