Developed from papers presented at the 2nd International Symposium on Plant Dormancy, held in Angers in July 1999, this books contains up to date research on this fascinating but little written about subject. It covers topics including whole plant and organ physiology, water relations and stress, abscisic acid and hormonal control, biochemical and cellular aspects and genetics and molecular biology.

The germination of seeds is a magical event, in which a pinch of dust-like material may give rise to all the power and the beauty of the growing plant. The mechanisms of seed dormancy, of the breaking of seed dormancy and of germination itself continue to remain shrouded in mystery, despite the best efforts of plant scientists. Perhaps we are getting there, but very slowly. This book considers germination and dormancy from the point of view of plant physiology. Plant physiologists attempt to understand the relation­ ship between plant form and function and to explain, in physical and chemical terms, plant growth and development. The place of germination and dormancy in plant ecophysiology is taken into account with attempts to understand the seed in its ·environment, whether the environment be natural, semi-natural or wholly artificial. In due course plant scientists hope to develop a precise understanding of germination and dormancy in cellular and molecular terms, and therefore there is some biochemistry in this book. Biochemists who wish to learn something about seeds should find this book useful.

Seeds: Ecology, Biogeography, and Evolution of Dormancy and Germination differs from all other books on seed germination. It is an all-encompassing volume that provides a working hypothesis of the ecological and environmental conditions under which various kinds of seed dormancy have developed. It also presents information on the seed germination of more than 3500 species of trees, shrubs, vines and herbaceous species, making this a valuable reference for anyone studying germination. This book delivers information on characteristics of each type of seed dormancy, how each type of dormancy is broken in nature, and what environmental conditions are required for germination after dormancy is broken. It explains how studies should be done to distinguish persistent from transient seed banks, and covers which species should be controlled, propagated, and conserved. Seeds gives the reader insight and guidelines for doing ecologically meaningful studies on the biogeography and evolution of seed dormancy and germination in order to better understand plant reproductive strategies, life history traits, adaptations to habitats, and physiological processes. Key Features* Evolutionary/phylogenetic origins and relationships of various kinds of seed dormancy* A world biogeographical perspective on seed dormancy and germination* Ecophysiology of seeds with each type of dormancy* Critical evaluation of methodology used in soil seed bank studies* Germination ecology of plants with specialized habitat and life cycle types* Genetic and maternal preconditioning effects on seed dormancy and germination* Guidelines for doing ecologically-meaningful germination studies

In its updated and revised third edition, this book reviews 15 years of advances in seed biology. Describes new research in the molecular biology of development and germination, and fresh insights on dormancy and how seeds respond to their environment.

Every time you see the neatly arranged appearance ofthis plant, you can't help but admire the intricate design of nature. The thick and succulent round leaves store enough water, making it drought-resistant, heat-tolerant, and especially cold-tolerant. During Winter dormancy, it quietly lies close to the ground, and when it awakens in spring, it starts to grow vigorously.

Cyclamen is a petite flowering plant with small blooms on long stems that grow above the foliage. It is a tuberous perennial, meaning it dies down to its thick roots during its Summer dormancy period. Its bloom period is in the fall and it is a resilient plant for colder seasons and zones. The leaves are heart shaped and typically have silver marbling. Cyclamen enjoys bright, indirect light in the Winter and low light in the Summer.

White is a vigorous vine well-suited to climbing arbors, privacy screens and pergolas. Its large white blossoms emerge in mid to late spring, contrasting with its bright green foliage and emitting a sweet fragrance. Wisteria is a deciduous vine that should be pruned and trained during its Winter dormancy.

Blue is 1 of the most cold hardy wisterias on the market. Once established, this hardy vine can bloom up to 3 times in a growing season with fragrant, foot long pods of purple-blue flowers. Wisteria is superb for covering arbors and gateways, and should be pruned and trained during its Winter dormancy.

This plant is called John Creech Stonecrop. Whenever you see the neat arrangement of these plants, you will marvel at the ingenious design of nature. The thick, juicy, round leaves store enough water to make it resistant to heat and drought, and especially cold. The winter dormancy state is just quietly attached to the ground, and in the spring, when it wakes up, it begins to grow vigorously, and every small bud grows into a branch, and the number of eyes becomes several times. The characteristics of rapid diffusion make it possible to replace lawns in large areas. Water-saving, prune-free and pretty, who wouldn't want that.

Pink spring flowers and green and white variegated foliage all season long. Its nice, tidy habit requires no pruning. Slow growth rate. Will continue to flower sporadically on the current season's growth. Medium moisture. Browning leaves in early fall are a result of the plant going into dormancy earlier than most weigela.

A mixture of perennial and Italian ryegrasses which are ideal for overseeding in southern climates. Establishes quickly and provides a deep green fine leafed turf throughout the winter season. Transitions out in the early spring as southern lawns are coming out of dormancy so there is no needs for chemicals.

LP version. Yellow vinyl. The reclusive mid-westerners return from dormancy with nine stunning, elegantly sparse tracks that showcase the band at it's most focused, melodic, and mysterious. While distinctly sounding like Auburn Lull, Hypha veers into uncharted territory, delivering surprises at every turn. The hallmark cavernous guitars and vast, slow-motion expanses, though still present, are reigned in, restrained, and paired with a newfound sense of minimalism and a broader palette of sounds,

Double vinyl LP pressing of this lost classic from the New Zealand band. Originally released on the inestimable Flying Nun label, Three Virgins came and went in the blink of an eye in the mid-'80's. After dormancy a mere quarter century in duration, this beguiling masterwork sees the light of day once again. Setting up shop in Christchurch's State Trinity Centre over Easter holidays 1985, Axemen went to work recording every sound and second they could capture during the legendary lost weekend. F

From #1 New York Times best-selling writer Geoff Johns!For years, Titans Tower has been a haven for young heroes, and has offered them a chance to train alongside their peers and to distinguish themselves from the mentors they will one day replace. After years of dormancy, original Titans Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven and Starfire aim to recreate that same premise for a new generation of heroes.   Their first recruits? The greatest super adolescents around: Robin, Superboy, Kid Flash and Wonder Girl!   Geoff Johns--the writer behind some of DC’s greatest titles, including DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH and INFINITE CRISIS--takes hold of the classic TEEN TITANS franchise in this epic run that helped launch him into comics superstardom alongside artist Mike McKone (JUSTICE LEAGUE UNITED).
