name: seed dormancy process
namespace: biological_process
def: "A dormancy process in which dormancy (sometimes called a dormant state) is induced, maintained or broken in a seed. Seed dormancy is a suspension of most physiological activity and growth in a seed, including the embryo contained therein, that can be reactivated. It often requires special conditions for reactivation, such as specific temperature, scarification, or leaching of inhibitors." [GOC:lr, GOC:PO_curators, ISBN:9781405139830, PO_REF:00009]
