SEED DORMANCY LOSS FROM DRY AFTER-RIPENING IS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASING GIBBERELLIN HORMONE LEVELS IN ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA

Seed dormancy loss from dry after-ripening is associated with increasing gibberellin hormone levels in Arabidopsis thaliana

IntroductionThe seeds of many plants are dormant and unable to germinate at maturity, but gain the ability to germinate through after-ripening during dry storage.The hormone abscisic acid (ABA) stimulates seed dormancy, whereas gibberellin A (GA) stimulates dormancy loss and germination.MethodsTo determine whether dry after-ripening alters the pote
