Climate change and bet‐hedging: interactions between increased soil temperatures and seed bank persistence (2009, background): “Physical dormancy is broken by heat (as well as scarification), which fractures the impermeable seed coat (Baskin et al., 2000).”
A classification system for seed dormancy (2004, background): “…in seeds with PY, under both natural and artificial (except mechanical scarification) conditions, has been assumed to involve the formation of an opening (‘water gap’) in a specialized anatomical structure on the seed (or fruit) coat, through which water moves to the embryo (Baskin et al., 2000).”
Evolutionary considerations of claims for physical dormancy-break by microbial action and abrasion by soil particles† (2000, background): “Seeds of impermeable-seeded lines, however, in which the chalazal slit is plugged (Baskin and Baskin, 1998; Baskin et al., 2000) are not invaded by fungi (Halloin, 1983).”
A revision of Martin's seed classification system, with particular reference to his dwarf-seed type (2007, background): “Among the 37 small-seeded non-dwarf families, water-impermeable seed coats occur in the Cistaceae, Convolvulaceae, Fabaceae and Malvaceae (Baskin et al., 2000); therefore, these seeds have physical dormancy or, in some cases, perhaps combinational dormancy.”
Seed Biology of Palms: A Review (2003, background): “Dormancy has been attributed to a hard or water-impermeable seed cover (physical dormancy, Baskin et al. 2000), such as a fibrous mesocarp and/or a stony endocarp, which are very common among palms (Holmquist & Popenoe 1967, Robertson & Small 1977, Daquinta et al. 1996).”
Dormancy and germination: making every seed count in restoration (2020, background): “Seeds with combinational dormancy (PY + PD) have both a water-impermeable seed or fruit coat and a physiologically dormant embryo (Baskin et al. 2000; Baskin & Baskin 12004a).”
Survival Strategies of Annual Desert Plants (2002, background): “Similar dormancy develops in 15 families of angiosperms during seed maturation and drying (van Staden et al. 1989; Baskin and Baskin 1998; Baskin et al. 2000).”
The natural history of soil seed banks of arable land (2006, background): “A specialized ‘‘water gap’’ has been identified in the impermeable layer of Convolvulaceae, Fabaceae, and Malvaceae, but not yet in Cucurbitaceae (Baskin et al. 2000).”
The functional role of soil seed banks in natural communities. (2014, background): “Seeds with thick impermeable seed coats with physical dormancy are common in many fireprone arid ecosystems, and thought to have evolved in dry areas (Baskin et al., 2000).”
Physical dormancy in seeds of Dodonaea viscosa (Sapindales, Sapindaceae) from Hawaii (2004, background): “viscosa from Hawaii have physical dormancy only, and not physical + physiological (combinational) dormancy (sensu Baskin and Baskin, 1998; Baskin et al., 2000), as has been reported for Koelreuteria paniculata (e.”
