Sentence examples for maturation and dormancy from inspiring English sources

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.

It inhibits cell division, promotes seed maturation, and dormancy, and promotes stomatal closure.

ABA is a key regulator of seed maturation and dormancy [ 59].

In contrast, rhizomes collected in late fall show an enrichment of transcripts associated with seed maturation and dormancy.

Whereas ABA plays a primary regulatory role in seed maturation and dormancy, GAs are essential for the induction of germination.

Once ovary size reaches the maximum, another hormone named abscisic acid will be produced and lead to seed maturation and dormancy.

Some transcripts were assigned to important plant physiological and biochemical processes, such as phytohormone biosynthesis and catabolism, seed maturation, cell wall growth, and circadian rhythms regulator, many of which might participate in seed development and dormancy release (Table  2 and Additional file 5).

It accumulates during seed maturation and desiccation before dormancy and is consumed during germination.

Seed maturation and induction of dormancy represent essential stages in soybean seed development that are triggered through highly coordinated signaling and metabolic pathways within the seed maturation and desiccation programs.

Studying the expression of genes at the early (early globular embryo) and late developmental stages (seed maturation, dormancy and desiccation tolerance (Itoh et al. 2005)) when dormancy and desiccation are setting in, allows identification of genes that are important not only for embryo development, but also for its establishment.
