IN MEMORIAM Cees Karssen (July 4, 1937 – October 14, 2023)
Cees Karssen started at Wageningen University in 1969 as assistant-professor to become professor in 1984. Cees contributed, to a large extent, to modern seed physiology. His studies together with Maarten Koornneef on mutants of Arabidopsis and tomato are highlights in the field and are still cited. The evolving hormone balance theory still stands firmly in our age of modern molecular and -omics research. He was closely befriended ... Read more »
Invitation to contribute to the Special Issue “Seed Dormancy and Germination as Key for Crop Establishment and Food Production”
Dear Colleagues, We invite you to contribute to the Special Issue "Seed Dormancy and Germination as Key for Crop Establishment and Food Production". https://www.mdpi.com/journal/agronomy/special_issues/Seed_Dormancy_Germination Timing of seed germination is one of the key steps in plant life. It determines when plants enter natural or agricultural ecosystems and is the basis for crop production. In the wild, many seeds only germinate after certain conditions have occurred. In contrast, crops tend to germinate as soon as they are wet ... Read more »
