Summary:

Understanding plant dormancy is of great importance to sustainable and efficient plant and crop growth. This book has been developed from papers presented at the 2nd International Symposium on Plant Dormancy held in Angers in July 1999. It contains research material on the subject.

Contents:

Contributors; Preface; 1 Growth Cycle and Dormancy in Plants; 2 Bud Dormancy: a Suggestion for the Control Mechanism and its Evolution; 3 The Distinct Controlling of Dormancy Release and Germination Commencement in Seeds; 4 Sugar Metabolism in Apple Embryos; 5 Population Responses to Temperature for Loss and Induction of Seed Dormancy and Consequences for Predictive Empirical Modelling; 6 Pre-treatment at Controlled Seed Moisture Content as an Effective Means to Break Dormancy in Tree Seeds; 7 Organismic and Environmental Controls of Bud Growth in Tropical Trees*
