- Introduction
- Testa-imposed dormancy is regulated by ABA-GA interaction
- Involvement of ß-1,3-glucanase in the after-ripening-mediated promotion of tobacco testa and endosperm rupture
- Endosperm-imposed dormancy is regulated by antagonistic interactions of GA, ethylene and BR with ABA
- References
ABA = abscisic acid; BR = brassinosteroids; GA = gibberellin
