Seedlings arise by viviparous germination of embryos, which complete their development but do not lapse into dormancy. Normal plants are raised by subsequent transplantation of seedlings to soil vermiculite. | | Link to the AJB Abstract for the article: | Induction of vivipary in Arabidopsis by silique culture: implications for seed dormancy and germination |
