Ecophysiology of Secondary Dormancy in Seeds of Ambrosia Artemisiifolia
Jerry M. Baskin,Carol C. Baskin +1 more
TL;DR: Upon exposure to the sequence of natural temperature regimes in spring, induction of secondary dormancy of seeds in darkness occurs in two physiological stages while buried seeds are at low marginal temperatures for germination, and then at higher temperatures they lose the ability to germinate in light.
Journal ArticleDOI
More than just a coating: Ecological importance, taxonomic occurrence and phylogenetic relationships of seed coat mucilage
TL;DR: Investigation of seed mucilage for more species in diverse habitats from the perspectives of evolution, genetics, proteomics, phylogeny and plant–microbe interactions would contribute substantially to the authors' understanding about its ecological importance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mistakes in germination ecology and how to avoid them
TL;DR: This paper discusses 22 issues in studies on seed germination ecology that lead to problems in determining the kind of dormancy and in extrapolating data to the field situation and offers suggestions on how to avoid them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the seed biology of 100 native species of trees in a seasonal moist tropical forest, Panama, Central America
TL;DR: This study quantified various aspects of the seed biology of 100 tree species native to the seasonal moist tropical forest in the Panama Canal Watershed to make recommendations for nursery production of tree seedlings to use in forest restoration projects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary considerations of claims for physical dormancy-break by microbial action and abrasion by soil particles
Jerry M. Baskin,Carol C. Baskin +1 more
TL;DR: There is little evidence in the scientific literature to support assumptions that dormancy-break in seeds (and fruits) with water-impermeable coats occurs via soil-microbial action and/or abrasion by soil particles, which do not make good evolutionary sense.
