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 …

Nitrate promotes seed germination at low concentrations in many plant species, and
functions as both a nutrient and a signal. As a nutrient, it is assimilated via nitrite to …

Climate warming may affect multiple aspects of plant life history, including important factors
such as germination responses and the key trade‐off between offspring size and number. As …

Seedling emergence timing is crucial in competitive plant communities and so contributes to
species fitness. To understand the mechanistic basis of variation in seedling emergence …

Aquaporins influence water flow in plants, yet little is known of their involvement in the water‐
driven process of seed germination. We therefore investigated their role in seeds in the …

Many weeds produce dormant seeds that are unable to complete germination under
favourable conditions. There are two types of seed dormancy: primary dormancy (innate …

This article comments on: Fernández Farnocchia RB, Benech-Arnold RL, Mantese A, Batlla
D. 2021. Optimization of timing of next-generation emergence in Amaranthus hybridus is …

This paper examines the effects of seed size and the depth of sand burial on seed
germination and seedling development for Pinus thunbergii. Parl. Seeds from 20-to 30-year …

Habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change present significant threats to global plant
biodiversity. Small and isolated populations residing in threatened habitats at the edge of …

Light is one of the most important environmental factors regulating seed germination. It is
known that light inhibits seed germination of some monocotyledonous species and that it is …
