Phenological description for the initial development stage of five Brazilian native forest species according to BBCH scale

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 561-581, March 2026.
Morphology of the two main growth stages—germination and initial development of the forest species Ceiba speciosa (co, cotyledon; eo, eophyll; hp, hypocotyl; me, metaphyll; pk, prickles; pr, primary root; se, seed; sr, secondary root). Abstract A specific phenological scale designated for each forest species facilitates the standardization of different

Dominance of Ricinus communis in the Semi‐Arid Region Mediated by Allelopathy

open access: yesWeed Research, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT The introduction of invasive alien species can adversely affect the functioning of natural ecosystems. Ricinus communis L., widely present in the Brazilian semi‐arid region, establishes itself in areas with native species, such as Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart.

Temperature, light and nitrate sensing coordinate Arabidopsis seed dormancy cycling resulting in winter and summer annual phenotypes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Seeds use environmental cues to sense the seasons and their surroundings to initiate the plants life cycle. Dormancy cycling underlying this process is extensively described, but the molecular mechanism is largely unknown.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Geranium sylvaticum*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Geranium sylvaticum is a perennial forb of upland grasslands, woodlands and riverbanks in northern Britain, with scattered native occurrences also in Wales, central England and Northern Ireland. It has an extensive native range in Europe and Asia. The species is gynodioecious, with individual plants typically female or hermaphrodite.

Effects of post‐fire heating on germination and early growth of two congeners of Dimorphandra species from Cerrado and Atlantic Forest

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Plants in the Atlantic Forest are not adapted to fire. On the other hand, in the Cerrado, fire occurs naturally, favoring species morphophysiologically adapted to its seasonal occurrence. However, little is known about the influence of the post fire scenario on the germination of woody species seeds in these two biomes.

Viability of Biosolid for Seedling Production of Pseudobombax petropolitanum: An Endemic Phorophyte and Endangered Species in Inselbergs

open access: yesInternational Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Inselbergs are rocky outcrops characterized by distinct ecosystems, serving as important refuges for biodiversity. Due to their unique and specialized vegetation, they are of significant interest for research. Given that germination represents a critical phase in the plant life cycle, particularly under extreme environmental conditions, this study ...

Effects of Drought and Heat Stress on Morphophysiological Traits of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Sorghum is a climate‐smart cereal crop inherently adapted to drought and heat stress, playing a vital role in ensuring global food and nutritional security. Despite its inherent tolerance to drought and heat stress, sorghum production is increasingly challenged by climate‐driven stresses that impair critical morphophysiological processes and reduce ...

Evaluation of the effective methods of seed dormancy breaking in medicinal plant of Bilhar (Dorema aucheri)

open access: yesپژوهش‌های بذر ایران, 2015
Bilhar or Mountain Kandall (Dorema aucheri) belongs to Apiacea family that contains flavonoid and coumarine compounds. Since propagation of this plant in natural habitats occurs through seed and due to deep dormancy, the identification of different seed ...

Biocontrol by a native hemiparasite: Rapid suppression of noxious invasive plants in a field experiment

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3514-3524, December 2025.
Melampyrum arvense was demonstrated as a biocontrol tool suitable for containing two harmful invasive species. After the suppression of the invaders, an additional introduction of native species by seeding or green‐hay transfer could facilitate community restoration. Abstract Alien plant invasions are a recognised threat to biodiversity.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.
