Seed dormancy and germination are critical factors affecting oil palm production efficiency. The typical dormancy-breaking process involves dry heat treatment (38–40 °C for 40–60 days) followed by germination at 30–32 °C. To understand the molecular mechanisms behind this process and improve germina...
