• The natural history of soil seed banks of arable land (2006, background): “Despite claims in the literature, there is essentially no evidence that dormancy-break in seeds with PY occurs via degradation of the water-impermeable seed coat either by microbial decay or abrasion by soil particles (Baskin and Baskin 2000).”
• Physical dormancy in seeds of Dodonaea viscosa (Sapindales, Sapindaceae) from Hawaii (2004, background): “viscosa involves opening of a (as yet unidentified) specialized area (‘water gap’) in the seed coat that serves as an environmental signal detector for germination (Van Staden et al., 1989; Baskin and Baskin, 2000).”
