Dormancy-specific imprinting underlies maternal inheritance of seed dormancy in Arabidopsis thaliana

Mature seed dormancy is a vital plant trait that prevents germination out of season. In Arabidopsis, the trait can be maternally regulated but the underlying mechanisms sustaining this regulation, its general occurrence and its biological significance among accessions are poorly understood. Upon see...
