Sentence examples for development and dormancy from inspiring English sources

The photoperiodic timer is measured by the critical photoperiod, i.e., the day length used to switch between active development and dormancy; the photoperiodic counter is measured by the depth (or intensity) of diapause, i.e., the number of long days required to terminate diapause.

Late embryogenesis-abundant genes have been associated with embryonic development and dormancy in several organisms, including rotifers [ 100, 101].

There is little research on molecular mechanisms, especially functional gene studies of seed development and dormancy release.

The increased genomic information produced in this study will aid our understanding of the molecular basis of seed development and dormancy release in P. polyphylla var.

ABA plays an important role during many phases of the plant life cycle, including seed development and dormancy, and plant responses to various environmental stresses [ 20, 60].

Orthologs of ABI3, encoding a structurally conserved transcription factor have been isolated from angiosperm and gymnosperm (conifer) species, and they act as central regulators of seed development and dormancy [ 10, 29].

Photoperiodic diapause is thus a crucial ecological adaptation enabling temperate insects to coordinate growth, development, reproduction and dormancy in a seasonal environment.

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a crucial role in adaptive responses to environmental stresses, such as drought and high salinity, as well as in plant development, such as seed maturation and dormancy.

For example, the CZ controls several processes of interest including the periodically alternating events of stem growth and dormancy, wood development and induced defense of traumatic resin duct formation.

Combined analysis of transcripts, proteins and metabolites of individual tissues will facilitate future characterization of complex processes of woody plant development, including periodic stem growth and dormancy, cell specialization, and defense and may be applied widely to other plant species.

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a major role as a signal in seed development and plant dormancy [ 42, 43] and regulates many important aspects, such as the synthesis of seed storage proteins, starch and lipids [ 44, 45].
