A large number of reviews have discussed many aspects of oxidative burst due to plant
exposure to biotic and abiotic stresses, including the dual role of reactive oxygen species …

Besides the deposition of storage reserves, seed maturation is characterized by the
acquisition of functional traits including germination, desiccation tolerance, dormancy, and …

Seed longevity is a central pivot of the preservation of biodiversity, being of main importance
to face the challenges linked to global climate change and population growth. This complex …

Successful germination represents a crucial developmental transition in the plant lifecycle
and is important both for crop yields and plant survival in natural ecosystems. However …

Upon storage, seeds inevitably age and lose their viability over time, which determines their
longevity. Longevity correlates with successful seed germination and enhancing this trait is …

Seeds are the mode of propagation for most plant species and form the basis of both
agriculture and ecosystems. Desiccation tolerant seeds, representative of most crop species …

In spite of the increasing number of studies on the importance of transgenerational plasticity
for species response to novel environments, its effects on species ability to respond to …

Alpine areas are both regional water reservoirs and zones of high species endemism.
Increasing temperatures and earlier snowmelt have already caused upward migration of …

Under climate change, regeneration from seeds is becoming increasingly important for
species persistence, migration and conservation, especially in high-elevation environments …

Trans‐generational adaptation is important to respond rapidly to environmental challenges
and increase overall plant fitness. Besides well‐known mechanisms such as epigenetic …
