Seed dormancy is nature's strategic pause in the plant life cycle,a purposeful interlude during which a seed,poised on the cusp of potential growth,bides its time in a state of quiescence.This period of dormancy is a crucial adaptation,allowing the seed to withstand unfavorable environmental conditions and synchronize germination with optimal circumstances for growth and survival(Nee et al.,2017).Dormancy is orchestrated by a complex interplay of genetic,physiological,and environmental factors,including phytohormones like abscisic acid and gibberellins(GAs),as well as specific regulators like DELAY OF GERMINATION1 and others(Née et al.,2017;Liu et al.,2020).
