“…Metabolism occurred prior to completion of the pulse-dose interval required to initiate the breaking of dormancy in the population (8-12 h for each chemical) (Footitt, 1993;. Metabolic conversion of ethanol to acetaldehyde and vice versa has also been documented in unimbibed, after-ripening cocklebur seeds (Esashi et al, 1994). However, the timecourse of these conversions was not obtained, and the physiological role attributed to these conversions in relation to dormancy was interpreted very differently.…”

Features of chemicals which break seed dormancy and the mechanisms of their action are discussed with reference to results obtained with red rice (Oryza sativa) and other relevant research. The significance of chemical structure, including the nature and location of functional groups, is considered, and the fact that similar structures can elicit different biochemical responses is illustrated with examples. As yet it is unclear whether changes in cell pH, highly correlated with the uptake of, and metabolism to, weak acids, and which some consider a possible trigger or marker in dormancy breaking, are causative, consequential or merely correlative. Uptake and metabolism of dormancy-breaking compounds is, or can be, very rapid and the importance of establishing the time course of dormancy-breaking, as opposed to germination events, is emphasized.
