Physical seed dormancy in pea is genetically separable from seed coat thickness and roughness

IntroductionThe seeds of wild pea (Pisum) exhibit marked physical dormancy due to impermeability of the seed coat to water, and the loss of this dormancy is thought to have been critical for domestication. Wild pea seed coats are also notably thick and rough, traits that have also reduced during do...
