GONUTS is under stress! The website is currently experiencing long-wait times and frequent time-outs due to the record number of students, groups, and annotations related to CACAO this semester. We are currently working on increasing performance -- please accept our apologies for the technical difficulties.
You can help reduce stress on the server by:
- not reloading pages frequently - this just adds
- opening links in new windows (so you can read the old page)
Category:GO:0022611 ! dormancy process
name: dormancy process
namespace: biological_process
def: "A developmental process in which dormancy (sometimes called a dormant state) is induced, maintained or broken. Dormancy is a suspension of most physiological activity and growth that can be reactivated." [GOC:isa_complete, GOC:PO_curators, PO_REF:00009]
comment: In plants and animals, dormancy may be a response to environmental conditions such as seasonality or extreme heat, drought, or cold. In plants, dormancy may involve the formation of dormant buds, and may be preceded by the senescence of plant parts such as leaves in woody plants or most of the shoot system in herbaceous perennials. The exit from dormancy in vascular plants is marked by resumed growth of buds and/or growth of vascular cambium.
