Abstract excerpt
Seed dormancy is an adaptive trait that delays germination until environmental conditions become favorable for seedling survival and growth. Germination has been shown to depend on the mechanical resistance strength of the covering layers (testa and endosperm) that counteracts the growth force of the embryo. Cell wall remodeling is essential in the regulation of germination processes. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the...
