Forage brassica B.napus is purposely bred for optimised vegetative growth and biomass production, while its seed yield remains to be improved for seed producers without affecting forage yield and quality.The cytokinins play critical and specific roles during seed development.Recent evidence shows that cytokinins may affect seed yield by enhancing phloem unloading and sugar import into the endosperm through the enzymatic activity of cell wall invertase, and that both seed number and seed size can be affected by manipulation of endogenous cytokinin levels.Our previous work in several species shows that seed development can be co-ordinately regulated by specific members of cytokinin multi-gene families.

Dormancy and germination are two mechanisms controlled by the hormonal balance between abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellins (GA).ABA induces and maintains dormancy while GA activates germination.After
Abscisic acid is a plant hormone that plays important roles during seed development and germination.Until now, a number of genes involved in the biosynthesis, catabolism, perception and signal transdu
Seed dormancy is an important economic trait for agricultural production.Abscisic acid (ABA) and Gibberellins (GA) are the primary factors that regulate the transition from dormancy to germination, an
Timely transition from a growth-arrested seed to a growth-effective seedling is key in plant life and in plant adaptation to environmental conditions.Phytohormones, such as abscisic acid (ABA) and gib

Seed dormancy enhances plant fitness by preventing germination under unfavorable conditions, and thus contributes to the successful colonization of land by seed plants.It also enhances yield and facil
After-ripening, one of the dormancy breaking treatments, is often associated with changes in seed content and/or sensitivity of several plant hormones.Previous studies mainly in dicot species have sho
Double fertilization is unique to flowering plants.After two sperms are delivered to the embryo sac, one sperm fuses with the egg to form a zygote that subsequently produce an embryo, while the other
