Review:
"...a most useful case study with a balanced coverage and an optimistic attitude to the future." Nature
"...a major contribution to the literature on the nature of seed dormancy in that it integrates a diverse array of data into a conceptual model of the development, maintenance, and termination of seed dormancy in grasses. It will be of interest to students of seed dormancy in general, not just to those working on grasses. Reading this book will enlighten 'single-factor biologists' and those who think that dormancy is an 'all or nothing' process." Economic Botany
"...a concisely and clearly written book that should be read by anyone studying seed dormancy and germination. It will also be of value to those interested in the general aspects of dormancy in plants." Carol Baskin, American Scientist
