While widespread transcriptome changes were previously observed with seed dormancy loss, this study specifically characterized transcriptional changes associated with the increased seed dormancy and dormancy loss of the gibberellin (GA) hormone-insensitive sleepy1-2 (sly1-2) mutant. The SLY1 gene encodes the F-box subunit of an SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase needed for GA-triggered proteolysis of DELL...

Seed imbibition, absorption of water by a dry seed, is an essential process in which embryo hydration and root establishment occur. In natural environments, this occurs beneath the soil, making it difficult to observe preliminary growth seeds. This paper presents new technique for tracking imbibition corn The proposed system designed measure through seed expansion wirelessly transmit data, perm...

Isoproturon resistant biotype of P. minor germinates early, shows higher germination percentage and faster rate of growth as compared to the susceptible biotype. Higher amylase activity is observed in the initial hours of imbibition in the resistant biotype. In the susceptible biotype it is activated at a much later stage.

Remitting Seronegative Symmetrical Synovitis with Pitting Edema (RS3PE) is an uncommon elderly-onset rheumatic picture descripted for the first time by McCarthy et al. in 1985 [1] characterized by tenosynovitis of extensor tendons at the wrist and (less frequently) at the feet. The edematous imbibition of tendon sheaths determines the “boxing-glove" swelling which can be considered when bilater...

Temperatures 15 degrees C or lower during the first hour of imbibition immediately inhibited respiration in lima beans, with proportional inhibition of subsequent growth of seedlings. Correlations between initial respiration rates and growth rates of seedlings were found in diferent lots of seeds.

A deep understanding of two-phase displacement in porous media with permeability contrast is essential for the design and optimisation enhanced oil recovery processes. In this paper, we investigate forced imbibition behaviour two dual-permeability geometries that are equal contrast. First, a mathematical model developed pore doublet, which shows dynamics can be fully described by viscosity rati...
