The ecology of seeds
Michael Fenner,Ken Thompson +1 more
TL;DR: This work has shown clear trends in the dispersal and regeneration of seeds in disturbed areas, and these trends are likely to continue into the next decade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental control of dormancy in weed seed banks in soil
Roberto L. Benech-Arnold,Rodolfo A. Sánchez,Frank Forcella,Betina Claudia Kruk,Claudio M. Ghersa +4 more
TL;DR: The different factors that affect dormancy in weed seed banks in soil are discussed, aiming to set a conceptual basis that will facilitate the construction of predictive models and stress the importance of clarifying the interaction between soil thermal and hydric conditions in the modification of the degree of dormancy of seed populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological and Ecological Function within the Phytochrome Family
TL;DR: The Phytochrome Genes, Transgenics, and Response Modes: A Beginner’s Guide to Ecology and Biotechnological Opportunities are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-seeded species are less dependent on light for germination than small-seeded ones
TL;DR: Germination became less dependent on light with increasing seed mass, and analysis of direct correlation and phylogenetically independent contrasts suggests that light response and seed mass coevolved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic plasticity: linking molecular mechanisms with evolutionary outcomes
Carl D. Schlichting,Harry Smith +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that phenotypic plasticity should be broadly construed to encompass a diversity of phenomena spanning several hierarchical levels of organization, and represents not just an outcome of evolutionary processes, but also a potentially important molder of them.

The Role of Light in the Germination of Naturally Occurring Populations of Buried Weed Seeds
G. Wesson,P. F. Wareing +1 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Light Penetration and Light-induced Seed Germination in Soil.
TL;DR: Light penetration through a Drummer silty clay loam and a Broomfield sand and biological measurements with light-sensitive lettuce seeds in soil showed that an exposure to light equivalent to about 1 sunny day induced some germination of seeds which were 2 millimeters below the surface, but did not affect seeds 6 millimetersbelow the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
The penetration of light through soil
Mark Tester,Christina Morris +1 more
TL;DR: This review attempts to collate most of the work that has been published on the penetration of light through soil in order to stimulate further research and to clarify the often-confused literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytochrome Control of Two Low-Irradiance Responses in Etiolated Oat Seedlings
TL;DR: Light-induced coleoptile stimulation and mesocotyl suppression in etiolated Avena sativa (cv. Lodi) has been quantitated and can be explained by the action of phytochrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
