It provides additional time for seed dispersal across a wide extent of distances, or for seasonal dormancy cycling.

    Classification is based on the developmental timing of dormancy onset (Taiz et al. 2015):
    1. Primary dormancy - induced by ABA, in which seed germination is blocked
    a. Embryo dormancy - inherent to the embryo
    b. Coat - induced dormancy - physiological dormancy facilitated by the seed coat
    2. Secondary dormancy - induced in seeds capable of germinating immediately, upon ripening, as exposed to unfavorable conditions]]>     2021-05-24 10:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/miguelgabrielurrutiasci/cxs81f8m5a0x8zc1/wish/1553202963     Seed Germination miguelgabrielurrutiasci https://padlet.com/miguelgabrielurrutiasci/cxs81f8m5a0x8zc1/wish/1553215609 2021-05-24 10:15:50 UTC https://padlet.com/miguelgabrielurrutiasci/cxs81f8m5a0x8zc1/wish/1553215609 How do you break seed dormancy? miguelgabrielurrutiasci https://padlet.com/miguelgabrielurrutiasci/cxs81f8m5a0x8zc1/wish/1553226752 1. Light
    Mechanism: stimulates the synthesis and the responsiveness to GAs (regulated by phytochromes)
    Example: Lactuca sativa

    2. Stratification
    Mechanism: process of pre-treating or chilling seeds (presence of the seed coat and endosperm increases the chilling requirement)
    Examples: Asclepias, Lupinus, Geranium maculatum

    3. After - ripening
    Mechanism: dry storage at room temperature
    Example: Nicotiana plumbaginifoli

    4. Chemical compounds (nitrate, nitric oxide, smoke)
    Mechanism: down-regulation of ABA synthesis or signaling, and up-regulation of gibberellin synthesis, which changes the ABA:GA ratio

    Phase II.  Imbibition rate declines and metabolic processes such as transcription and translation, are re-initiated. The embryo expands resulting in the rupture of the seed coat where the radicle emerges from it
    Phase III.   Water uptake resumes due to a decrease in potential as the seedling grows, stored food reserves of the seed are fully mobilized.
