In seeds with an impermeable coat, i.e., physical dormancy (PY), a strong relationship between temperature and duration exists for dormancy break, which is also proposed to be influenced by the moisture content of the seeds.

Our study demonstrated that ChDREB2C, a Cerasus humilis transcription factor, increased the tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis to salt stress.

Nitric oxide inhibits primary root growth partially by repressing gibberellin 3-oxidase 1 catalysed gibberellic acid synthesis in Arabidopsis.
