However, some genes correlated with seed dormancy and germination have been identified from Arabidopsis mutants, which would be helpful in understanding the mechanisms of seed germination and dormancy. Gibberellic acid (GA) is one of the key factors promoting seed germination. Genes such as RGL, SPY, GCR, SLY and GAR are involved in the GA promotion of seed germination, whereas ABI1 , ABI2 , ABI3 , ABI4 , ABI5 , FUS3, LEC, MARD and CIPK are relevant to the induction of abscisic acid (ABA) in seed dormancy. Research results involving the ethylene mutants of ein, etr, and ctr and the brassinosteroid mutants det and bri indicated that both ethylene and brassinosteroids promote seed germination via counteracting the inhibito
