To grow or not to grow: questioning seed dormancy and thermal germination responses along elevational gradients in four plant taxa

Effects of vegetation structure and seed morphology on secondary wind dispersal strategies

New research shows that Dodonaea viscosa seeds rely on a tiny slit to let water in, and understanding how it opens could help germinate them.

Silver nanoparticle seed priming as a redox-driven regulator of seed germination and stress memory

Researchers found that ageing Brassica napus seeds lose not only vigour, but also microbial diversity, raising new questions about how we store seeds for the future.

New research on Central African orchids reveals that even the smallest seeds can preserve clues about how plants evolved and adapted over time.

Earning his Ph.D., the tropical ecologist has worked with Catherine Hulshof’s Biodiversity Research Lab to enhance tree and forest data from the Americas and the Caribbean.

The lack of standardised sampling protocols prevents functional traits from expressing their full potential to revolutionise plant ecology, biogeography, a

Seeds have developed mechanisms to perceive environmental signals, such as light and temperature, which govern germination and enhance the chance of seedling establishment. This study examined the fo...

Under heat stress, GENOMES UNCOUPLED1 (GUN1) is crucial for the formation of functional chloroplasts in seedlings under heat stress. Without GUN1, chloroplast development fails and seedlings fail to ...
