Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
In horticulture, seeds are still an important propagation material.
For propagation using seeds, germination conditions, the vigor and dormancy of the seeds must be considered.
In addition to the well-known horticultural crops, it is very important to understand the dormancy and germination of seeds for the propagation of plants that can be developed as horticultural crops.
Therefore, in this Topical Collection, seeds of current horticultural crops and seeds of plants with high horticultural development value are targeted.
Of course, techniques to promote germination (seed priming, etc.) are important, but this Topical Collection also focuses on the types of seed dormancy, germination due to dormancy breaking, and methodologies for dormancy breaking.
Through this Topical Collection, it is hoped that the research contents and information will be shared among researchers targeting the aforementioned seeds, and that further mutual joint research will be conducted.
