A change of form in dormancy and a test to detect them To understand the mechanisms behind the dormancy of L. monocytogenes, the scientists exposed these bacteria to mineral spring water ...

But farther from the equator the winter harvest gradually declines and at latitudes beyond about 16° there is almost complete winter dormancy which lasts longer with increasing latitudes.

A new study has uncovered the critical role of the interaction between StSN2 and StBIN2 in sustaining potato tuber dormancy, a phase essential for maintaining quality and seed viability.
