#NewPaper: Interactions between seed functional traits and environmental factors and their influence on germination performance of Australian native species 🫘 🌱 💦 🌡️ (1/5) @CUP_LifeScience #SeedEcology #PlantTraits #Germination buff.ly/4aRHMJr
#NewPaper 🚨: Genome-wide association study on seed dormancy in barley #SeedScience #Agriculture #MolecularBiology (1/7) buff.ly/3XMwi4G
These findings provide new targets for fine-tuning seed dormancy in barley 🧪🧬.
By manipulating these QTLs, breeders can develop varieties with optimal dormancy levels, balancing pre-harvest sprouting resistance and malting quality (6/7)

This #tbt shows us that the germination of three Mediterranean aromatics –thyme, savory and oregano– varies with light & temperature. Essential oils in the calyx inhibit germination, acting as a gauge to delay establishment until stable conditions arrive buff.ly/3XgORNR
Temperature affects both seed dormancy & germination 🌡️🌱 In this #TBT, explore how it regulates dormancy levels & germination speed, and why this dual role can lead to misinterpretation #SeedScience #PlantBiology buff.ly/3AODa9B
#NewPaper 📣: Differences in germination traits of time-separated seed collections of dry forest species from Central Zambia and the potential role of climate 🫘🌡️🌦️🌰 #ClimateChange #SeedScience #PlantTraits (1/7) buff.ly/3B7icmE
This research highlights the potential for rapid plant responses to climate change in TDFs 🌡️🌧️ .
Understanding these changes is crucial for predicting and managing forest regeneration in the face of ongoing climate shifts in Southern Africa and beyond (6/7).

How do sugars help seeds survive dehydration? 🌱🔬 This #TBT explores how sugars like di- & oligosaccharides protect seed membranes from damage during desiccation by limiting stress and phase transitions. #SeedScience #PlantScience buff.ly/3yYj24A
#NewPaper 🚨: Can alpine species take the heat? Impacts of increased temperatures on early life stages @AlexSeglias 🌡️⛰️🌱 #ClimateChange #AlpineBotany #SeedEcology (1/6) buff.ly/4efsE9I
While these rare alpine species showed resilience to warming in early life stages, other climate factors may still threaten their survival. More research is needed to inform conservation strategies for vulnerable alpine plants (5/6).
