Mar. 7, 2023 Germination is a crucial stage in the life of a plant as it will leave the stage of seed resistant to various environmental constraints (climatic conditions, absence of nutritive elements, etc.) to ...
Oct. 26, 2021 The endosperm, the tissue surrounding the plant embryo in the seed, has long been perceived as a nourishing tissue that is abandoned once the transition to the seedling is complete. A team has now ...
Nov. 16, 2021 New research has uncovered the first fossil evidence of a rare botanical condition known as precocious germination in which seeds sprout before leaving the ...
June 1, 2021 In some environments there is no way for a seed to know for sure when the best time to germinate is. So how does a plant make sure that all of its offspring are not killed at once by an ill-timed ...
Jan. 7, 2022 The findings of this study are intended to aid botanists who specialize in crop protection in better understanding the distribution of planteose throughout the endosperm, perisperm, and seed coat of ...
Sep. 17, 2021 Seeds that would otherwise lie dormant will spring to life with the aid of a new ...
July 7, 2021 Dehydrated plant seeds can lay dormant for long periods -- over 1,000 years in some species -- before the availability of water can trigger germination. This protects the embryonic plant inside from ...
June 23, 2022 Microplastic pollution is known to negatively impact seed germination and seedling growth. Although some studies have demonstrated the effects of microplastics on seed germination, the impact of ...
June 9, 2021 New research has shown how a readily available, cheap and safe-to-use product found in the medicine cabinet of most homes could be the key to better ecological restoration practices with major ...
Aug. 10, 2023 Rapid alkalinization factors (RALFs) are required for pollen tube germination and elongation, an essential process in plant fertilization. But their role in monocot plants remains unexplored. ...
