Changes in the equilibrium of almost all known phytohormones are correlated with the onset, maintenance and removal of dormancy in seeds, buds, bulbs and tubers, but the results are often contradictory. At present, there is no consistent theory which would explain the mechanism of hormonal control of dormancy. Also, the molecular regulation of dormancy is poorly understood.
