Aims Seed dispersal by endozoochory is an important process in plant regeneration and the establishment of new populations.Seeds with dormancy may especially benefit after disperser gut passage.However,the ways in whi...
Ex situ conservation in seed banks is a potential complementary conservation strategy for native plant species.It is well established that ex situ seed banking of native wild plants prolongs seed viability and thereby...
Melaleuca quinquenervia is an Australian tree that has successfully invaded many habitats in Florida. It maintains an aerial seed bank in serotinous capsular fruits held in the tree canopies. These fruits open gradual...
Agave durangensis propagates basically by seeds. This species is economically important because it supports a mescal industry in Durango, Mexico. At present, its exploitation is overall by collecting plants from the w...
This study aimed to observe the viability of the pollen grains of Malpighia emarginata DC. (West Indian cherry) and the action of a lectin in their germination. Lectins are proteins that specifically interact with car...

312 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) in F9 from a cross between a overwintering cold-tolerant germplasm resource Glutinous rice 89-1(Gr 89-1) and a cold-sensitive variety Shuhui 527 was used for quantitative trait ...
The cause of poor seed quality (germination) of soybean produced in the Early Soybean Production System in the midsouth U.S.A. is still not completely understood. Temperature, solar radiation, and soybean genotype may...

Using ultradry method and accelerated aging, storage behavior of Ziziphus jujuba var spinosa seeds with MC of 15-80 g/kg was studied. The results showed that seeds with MC of 24-80 g/kg could maintain the stabilizatio...
Light and temperature are key external factors in the control of Arabidopsis thaliana seed germination and dormancy mechanisms. Perception and response to these stimuli have to ensure that seedling emergence and growt...
To investigate the low temperature on germination capacity (LTG) a double haploid rice (DH) population with 198 lines derived from anther culture of F1 hybrid with indica line Zhenshan 97B and a perennial japonica...
