Abstract
Seeds represent essential stages of the plant life cycle: embryogenesis, the intermittent quiescence phase and germination. Each stage has its own physiological requirements, genetic program and environmental challenges. Consequently, the effects of developmental and environmental hypoxia can vary from detrimental to beneficial. Past and recent evidence shows how low-oxygen signalling and metabolic adaptations to hypoxia affect seed development and germination. Here, we review the recent literature on seed biology in relation to hypoxia research, and present our perspective on key challenges and opportunities for future investigations.
