Revolutionary Seed Dormancy Breakthrough for Coastal Sand Dune Restoration
The researchers studied how to grow Acanthocarpus preissii plants for sand dune restoration in Western Australia. They wanted to figure out how to make the seeds sprout, when to do it, and what kind of dormancy the seeds have. They found a way to break the dormancy, identified the best time to do it in the field, and classified the type of dormancy the seeds have.
