A Comparative Study of Germination Ecology of Four Papaver Taxa
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Comparative studies of closely related taxa can increase understanding of adaptations and changes in seed dormancy and germination preferences in an evolutionary perspective. For such studies, a method to describe and compare the performance of taxa in a general way is needed. The germination ecology of four Papaver taxa was studied with the aim of describing and comparing t...
متن کاملInter-species comparison of seed dormancy and germination of six annual Asteraceae weeds in an ecological context
To understand germination timing in an ecological context, the response to environmental events that affect seed dormancy is central, and has to be combined with knowledge of germination responses to different circumstances. In this study, seed dormancy, germination, and emergence phenology of six annual co-occurring weedy Asteraceae species were investigated. Three pre-treatments (warm and col...
متن کاملSeed dormancy, after-ripening and light requirements of four annual Asteraceae in south-western Australia.
The role of dormancy, temperature and light in the regulation of seed germination of four annual Asteraceae from south-western Australia was investigated. The experiments aimed to identify after-ripening patterns, and to relate these to climatic conditions of the habitat in which the species occur. Seeds of all species were strongly dormant at maturity and maintained high levels of dormancy for...
متن کاملVariation within species and inter- species comparison of seed dormancy and germination of four annual Lamium species
In an ecological context, knowledge of intra-species variation in dormancy and germination is necessary both for practical and theoretical reasons. We used four or five seed batches (replicates) of four closely related annuals co-occurring in arable fields in Sweden: Lamium amplexicaule, L. confertum, L. hybridum and L. purpureum. Seeds used for experiments stemmed from plants cultivated on two...
متن کاملA plurality of causal mechanisms explains the persistence or transience of soil seed banks
Annual forbs form short-term persistent soil seed banks whereas perennial grasses form mostly transient ones in the central Monte desert. A conceptual framework predicts that annual forb seeds will have primary dormancy, whereas perennial grasses will have low dormancy levels. We assessed whether the dormancy traits of four annual forb species and five perennial grass species can account for th...
