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...
Within- and trans-generational plasticity: seed germination responses to light quantity and quality
Plants respond not only to the environment in which they find themselves, but also to that of their parents. The combination of within- and trans-generational phenotypic plasticity regulates plant development. The light...
Seed dormancy cycling and mortality in Arabidopsis thaliana
The contribution of variation in seed bank dynamics to local adaptation is not well studied. Postma et al. investigated the extent to which genetic and environmental factors affect dormancy cycling and mortality of...

Co-adaptation of seed dormancy and flowering time
Time from seed dispersal to germination and time from germination to flowering are two key life history traits that determine fitness and coexistence of weeds in arable fields. Toorop et al. characterize these two...
