According to Liu et al. (2013) the following hormonal and signaling processes are likely when a dormant seed (after-ripened)germinates.The sensitivity of seed to ABA and IAA decreases.
The related genes, which are affected, include SNF1-RELATED
PROTEIN KINASE2, PROTEIN PHOSPHATASE 2C, LIPID PHOSPHATE
PHOSPHTASE2, ABA INSENSITIVES, and Auxin Response Factor of UBIQUITIN1
genes. (2) Liu et al. (2013). The inhibiting effects of ABA on
seed germination are by adversely affecting the genes of chromatin
assembly and modification of cell wall and positively affecting the
activity of genes regulating gibberellins catabolic.
