A classification system for seed dormancy

Jerry M. Baskin, Carol C. Baskin · 1 Mar 2004

The proposal is made that seed scientists need an internationally acceptable hierarchical system of classification for seed dormancy. Further, we suggest that a modified version of the scheme of the Russian seed physiologist Marianna G. Nikolaeva be adopted. The modified system includes three hierarchical layers – class, level and type; thus, a class may contain…

Plant hormone interactions during seed dormancy release and germination

Birgit Kucera, Marc Alan Cohn, Gerhard Leubner‐Metzger · 1 Dec 2005

This review focuses mainly on eudicot seeds, and on the interactions between abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellins (GA), ethylene, brassinosteroids (BR), auxin and cytokinins in regulating the interconnected molecular processes that control dormancy release and germination. Signal transduction pathways, mediated by environmental and hormonal signals, regulate gene expression in seeds. Seed dormancy release and germination of…

Active oxygen species and antioxidants in seed biology

Christophe Bailly · 1 May 2004

Active oxygen species (AOS) are involved in various aspects of seed physiology. Their generation, which occurs during seed desiccation, germination and ageing, may lead to oxidative stress and cellular damage, resulting in seed deterioration. However, cells are endowed with detoxifying enzymes and antioxidant compounds that scavenge AOS and participate in seed survival. The detoxifying mechanisms…

Longevity of seeds stored in a genebank: species characteristics

Christina Walters, Lana M. Wheeler, Judith M. Grotenhuis · 1 Mar 2005

Seeds of different species are believed to have characteristic shelf lives, although data confirming this are scarce, and a mechanistic understanding of why this should be remains elusive. We have quantified storage performance of c . 42,000 seed accessions, representing 276 species, within the USDA National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) collection, as well as a…

Phytic acid and phosphorus in crop seeds and fruits: a global estimate

John N. A. Lott, Irene Ockenden, Victor Raboy et al. · 1 Mar 2000

Abstract A very important mineral storage compound in seeds is phytate, a mixed cation salt of phytic acid (myo-inositol hexakis phosphoric acid). This compound is important for several reasons: (1) It is vital for seed/grain development and successful seedling growth. (2) It is often considered to be an antinutritional substance in human diets, but it…

Seed Science Research template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Seed Science Research format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Seed Science Research template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Cambridge University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Seed Science Research use?
Seed Science Research uses Numbered references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, A representative article title, Seed Science Research 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Seed Science Research?
No. DocuGuru generates the null LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Cambridge University Press-ready Seed Science Research document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Seed Science Research template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Seed Science Research format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Seed Science Research?
Seed Science Research is a multidisciplinary journal published by Cambridge University Press. DocuGuru's Seed Science Research template matches Cambridge University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Seed Science Research PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Seed Science Research template (the null class) that is ready to submit to Cambridge University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Seed Science Research template cost?
You can start writing in the Seed Science Research template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Seed Science Research PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
