Characterization of and genetic variation for tomato seed thermo-inhibition and thermo-dormancy

Abstract Background Exposing imbibed seeds to high temperatures may lead to either thermo-inhibition of germination or thermo-dormancy responses. In thermo-inhibition, seed germination is inhibited but quickly resumed when temperatures are lowered. Upon prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures, t...
