Abstract

An integrative review and analysis of seed germination of grain legumes, combining seed structural morphology, physiology of dormancy and germination metabolism is presented, bridging between disciplines and research approaches. A deeper understanding of the links between seed development, environmental conditions, and processes controlling seed germination and metabolism is attempted, in view of present and future needs for improved grain legume cultivars with greater range of adaptation to more extreme climatic and edaphic conditions.
