Integrating principles of ecological intensification into weed management strategies requires
an understanding of the many relationships among weeds, crops and other organisms of …

Plant persistence and migration in face of climate change depends on successful
reproduction by seed, a central aspect of plant life that drives population dynamics …

Background and Aims The purpose of this study was to compare the relative accuracy of
different thermal-germination models in predicting germination-time under constant …

Temperature is a key factor affecting both dormancy and germination. In non-dormant seeds,
when temperature is within the thermal range permissive for germination, it just regulates …

Organisms develop through multiple life stages that differ in environmental tolerances. The
seasonal timing, or phenology, of life-stage transitions determines the environmental …

The development of models that allow the prediction of timing and extent of weed
emergence is essential for planning more effective weed control strategies in agricultural …

The effect of various combinations of temperature and relative humidity on dormancy
alleviation of sunflower seeds during dry after-ripening was investigated. The rate of …

The possibility of accurately predicting timing and extent of seedling emergence from natural
seed soil banks has long been an objective of both ecologist and agriculturalist. However …

Abstract Background and Aims Seed dormancy varies within species in response to climate,
both in the long term (through ecotypes or clines) and in the short term (through the …

Seeds integrate environmental cues that modulate their dormancy and germination.
Although many mechanisms have been identified in laboratory experiments, their …
