Abstract excerpt
During the late stages of seed development, the embryo patterning program is completed and maturation is initiated. One of the main events during the maturation phase is the acquisition of dormancy, characterized by the failure of a normally developed seed to germinate precociously. Dormancy is controlled by a complex regulatory mechanism that involves the phytohormone gibberellin (GA) and the transcription...
