Many molecular mechanisms that regulate dormancy have been identified individually in
controlled laboratory studies. However, little is known about how the seed employs this …

Environmental conditions are the basis of plant reproduction and are the critical factors
controlling seed dormancy and germination. Global climate change is currently affecting …

Seed performance after dispersal is highly dependent on parental environmental cues,
especially during seed formation and maturation. Here we examine which environmental …

Primary seed dormancy is an important adaptive plant trait whereby seed germination is
blocked under conditions that would otherwise be favorable for germination. This trait is …

Plant persistence and migration in face of climate change depends on successful
reproduction by seed, a central aspect of plant life that drives population dynamics …

The temporal control or timing of the life cycle of annual plants is presumed to provide
adaptive strategies to escape harsh environments for survival and reproduction. This is …

Climate change is driving species' range shifts, which are in turn disrupting species
interactions due to species‐specific differences in their abilities to migrate in response to …

In coming decades, increasing temperatures are expected to impact crop yield and seed
quality. To develop low input systems, the effects of temperature and sulfur (S) nutrition in …

Large areas of arable land are often confronted with irregular rainfall resulting in limited
water availability for part (s) of the growing seasons, which demands research for drought …

Seed development needs the coordination of multiple molecular mechanisms to promote
correct tissue development, seed filling, and the acquisition of germination capacity …
