Ecology of seed dormancy and germination of Carex divisa Huds.: Effects of stratification, temperature and salinity
Carex divisa is a patrimonial rhizomatous species and acts as an important component of grazed wet permanent grassland on the French Atlantic coast. This study treated three storage regimes (wet-cold, dry-cold and dry-warm), burial in soil, fluctuating temperature and salinity on seed germination of C. divisa. The seeds were dormant at maturity. No seed germinated after 2 and 6 weeks of dry sto...
متن کاملPhotosynthesis, Growth, Carbon Allocation, and Fruit Load of Frangula caroliniana and Rhamnus cathartica
Rhamnus cathartica is an invasive shrub capable of high fecundity in North America. The physiology of R. cathartica has received little attention, but more is needed to understand traits that enhance its success in disturbed environments. Such data may help to predict invasiveness of closely related species such as Frangula caroliniana. We hypothesized that R. catharticawould have greater relat...
متن کاملPhotoinhibition of germination in grass seed--implications for prairie revegetation.
Germination photoinhibition is not a recognized cause of revegetation failure; yet prolonged sunlight exposure can inhibit germination of several grass species. This research addressed susceptibility to photoinhibition of selected native grass species used to restore Canadian prairies, and reclamation treatments to alter environmental conditions in order to release seeds from photoinhibition. U...
متن کاملThe evolutionary ecology of seed germination of Arabidopsis thaliana: variable natural selection on germination timing.
Germination timing of Arabidopsis thaliana displays strong plasticity to geographic location and seasonal conditions experienced by seeds. We identified which plastic responses were adaptive using recombinant inbred lines in a field manipulation of geographic location (Kentucky, KY; Rhode Island, RI), maternal photoperiod (14-h and 10-h days), and season of dispersal (June and November). Transg...
متن کاملGermination in Seed Species Ingested by Opossums: Implications for Seed Dispersal and Forest Conservation
Seed germination in plant species consumed by opossums, genus Didelphis, was investigated in southern Brazil, in order to improve knowledge of the strategies of zoochorous plants in the Neotropics. Seeds were obtained from opossum feces. Thirteen of the most frequent species in the diet of local opossums were tested for germination rates and germination responses under different qualities (red/...
