Understanding plant dormancy is of great importance to sustainable and efficient plant and crop growth. This book had developed from papers presented at the 2nd International Symposium on Plant Dormancy held in Angers in July 1999. It contains up to date research material on this fascinating
but little written about subject and is essential reading for those studying and researching plant and seed science.

Industry Reviews

"This book can be recommended as an excellent overview of the state of the art in dormancy for both specialists in the respective field and for students and plant biologists who would like to get acquainted with this fascinating subject."--Jan Krekule
