Relationship between seed dormancy and persistence of seeds of annual ruderal species in the soil seedbank
Knowledge related to seed persistence in soil is critical for weed control decisions in the integrated weed management systems. Many annual weed species have dormant soil seed banks (SSBs), and this may be an important mechanism for seed persistence in these species. Although the relationship …

Ecological significance of seed traits in the genus Macaranga
… niche hypothesis, the transition from seeds to seedlings is critical in determining plant distribution patterns. This initial stage of recruitment may be strongly influenced by seed mass via effects on the sensitivity to light quality and soil moisture availability for germination, and …

Linking germination traits of oilseed rape (<i>Brassica napus</i> L.) to DNA markers
Oilseed rape has become an important weed in arable rotations and a feral plant of field margins, soil dumps and roadsides. Seed persistence in the soil following induced secondary dormancy is thought to perpetuate these weed and feral populations. Potential variation between cultivars has been …
