Role of Abscisic Acid in Seed Dormancy (2005, background): “…of ABA in promoting storage reserve accumulation and synthesis of desiccation/stress protectants (for example, oleosin, LEAs, peroxiredoxin-like proteins, and small heat shock proteins) (reviewed in Kermode and Finch-Savage 2002; Zeng and others 2003; Zeng and Kermode 2004; see references therein).”
Ecological aspects of seed desiccation sensitivity (2003, background): “Unlike most orthodox species, recalcitrant seeds generally undergo no, or only very limited maturation drying and consequently have high moisture contents and are metabolically active on shedding (e.g. Berjak & Pammenter 2001; Kermode & Finch-Savage 2002).”
From intracellular signaling networks to cell death: the dual role of reactive oxygen species in seed physiology. (2008, background): “In contrast, other seeds named recalcitrant have a high MC and do not withstand intensive dehydration [46,47].”
Active oxygen species and antioxidants in seed biology (2004, background): “The ability of developing orthodox seeds to withstand severe desiccation generally appears during the phase of reserve accumulation, approximately midway through development, but it depends on the drying rate, which affects seed survival after drying (Kermode, 1995; Pammenter and Berjak, 1999; Kermo”
