Understanding seed-related processes is of major social,
environmental, and economic concern. The viability and vigor of
seeds are the very basis for sustainable agriculture and forestry,
and comprehending the molecular and cellular events underlying
these processes will become increasingly important to many
economical sectors and for species that provide the world's food
supply. Seed Dormancy: Methods and Protocols covers analytical
methods and approaches which have already lead to significant
advances in the understanding of seed dormancy and germination.
Chapters cover explanations of processes leading to the induction,
maintenance, and termination of seed dormancy, the classification
of different dormancy types, as well as an overview of protocols
used for dormancy-termination of seeds of conifer species. This
volume emphasizes methods essential for abscisic acid (ABA)
analyses, including methods that have been important for receptor
identification, analyses of ABA-catabolizing enzymes (the
8'-hydroxylases), and identification of novel signal transduction
components, interacting partners, and/or response factors. The
volume closes by addressing the development of new technologies,
including spectroscopic methods (some of which allow for
non-destructive sampling) as well as highly effective
tissue-printing methods for seed dormancy research. Written in the
successful Methods in Molecular Biology (TM) series format,
chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of
the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily
reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding
known pitfalls. Authoritative and easily accessible, Seed Dormancy:
Methods and Protocols features detailed methods that will prove
invaluable for both applied and fundamental seed research.
