Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Dormancy is a complex trait finely regulated by hormones and environmental factors. The phytochromes that sense red:far-red (R:FR) are the sole photoreceptors involved in the termination of dormancy and the induction of germination by light. The aims of this study were to identify and characterize loci controlling this process in seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana. METHODS: Recombinant inbred...
