TL;DR: Nitrogen concentration tended to be higher after the drier year and, while interannual variations in seed size and reserve composition were not sufficient to affect interspecific correlations among seed and seedling traits, some of the reserves were related to germination variables and seeding relative growth rate.

TL;DR: It is concluded that it is unlikely that any species of Opuntia has physical dormancy, and the first integrative study of the anatomy, dynamics of water uptake and dormancy in seeds of Cactaceae subfamily Opuntioideae is concluded.

TL;DR: The findings showed that NaTrxh is a new thioredoxin h in Nicotiana that is secreted as well as in animal systems and may be involved either in general pollenpistil interaction processes or particularly in S-RNase-based self-incompatibility.

TL;DR: Germination of Opuntia tomentosa seeds collected during 1998 was evaluated using treatments of scarification, gibberellic acid, GA3, dry heat, soaking, light, after-ripening and stratification at constant and alternating temperatures.

TL;DR: A significant negative effect of whitefly incidence along the growing season upon plant growth rate (number of branches and height) and fruit production was detected, suggesting that trichomes deter or limit the establishment of whiteflies.
