Sentence examples for mean primary dormancy from inspiring English sources

Over time the mean primary dormancy would decrease, resulting in a cumulative reduction in the percentage of primary dormant seeds, while the opposite trend was presumed to occur for secondary dormancy.

It was assumed that seed populations have initially high mean values of primary dormancy and low mean values of secondary dormancy.

However, we can only speculate if RGL2 maintains primary dormancy or induces secondary dormancy.

Predicted decline in primary dormancy (green) and increase in secondary dormancy (black) are shown alongside germination data and model fit.

Model predicted germination is shown in red, predicted primary dormancy in green, and predicted secondary dormancy in black.

Primary dormancy loss and secondary dormancy induction were represented as cumulative logistic functions (see 'Materials and methods').

At this stage seeds have already left primary dormancy, thus have committed to germination.

Genotypes of N. attenuata produce seeds that vary in their genetically-determined primary dormancy [ 9].

This is because faster gain of secondary dormancy after imbibition at warmer temperatures is offset by the lower level of primary dormancy induced during seed maturation.

Although M. truncatula exhibits non-deep primary dormancy (several weeks/months of after-ripening is sufficient to remove dormancy), it is unclear whether secondary dormancy occurs in M. truncatula seeds [ 38, 63].

Thus enhanced primary dormancy induced by lower production temperatures in the maternal environment may well be a conserved response.
