Grasses are a principal source of food for mankind and play an
important role in stabilizing the land surface of much of the
globe. Understanding seed dormancy in the Gramineae is therefore of
considerable significance to world agriculture and global ecology.
This book provides a comprehensive review of the occurrence and
explanation of seed dormancy in grasses. Experimental evidence is
considered in depth for a single species, the wild oat (Avena
fatua), probably the most widely studied species for understanding
seed dormancy in the plant kingdom. The evidence for this species
is compared with other examples among the Gramineae to reach some
general conclusions about the nature of seed dormancy in grasses.
Essential reading for all those who need to understand the
mechanisms of seed dormancy, this book will be a valuable text for
advanced students and professionals in plant physiology, crop
science, plant breeding and agronomy.
