Seed dormancy regulates germination response to smoke and temperature in a rhizomatous evergreen perennial
Seed dormancy status regulates the response of seeds to environmental cues that can trigger germination. Anigozanthos flavidus (Haemodoraceae) produces seeds with morphophysiological dormancy that are known to germinate...

Post-shedding seed development in Galanthus and Narcissus
Seeds of the moist temperate woodland species Galanthus nivalis and Narcissus pseudonarcissus, which disperse during spring or early summer, germinate poorly in laboratory tests. Newton et al. study seed characteristics...
