Fruit fracture biomechanics and the release of Lepidium didymum pericarp-imposed mechanical dormancy by fungi [PDF]
Mechanical dormancy imposed by a hard fruit pericarp prevents premature seed germination. Here, the authors show that the pericarp of Lepidium didymum prevents germination by limiting water uptake and that dormancy can be released by fungal activity that

Walnut seeds are enclosed in a remarkably strong shell made of sclerenchyma, separated by a pectin‐rich suture tissue. Different cell shapes and chemical composition of this tissue point to an opening mechanism, which is triggered by cyclic humidity changes.

Along temperature gradients such as elevation and latitude, species typically occupy distinct ranges, and life at the extremes may come with adaptive and non‐adaptive genomic changes. In the Brassicaceae family, comparative genomics revealed that geo‐climatic factors strongly predict genome size and transposable element (TE) content, explaining up to ...

The biomechanics of seed germination [PDF]
From a biomechanical perspective, the completion of seed (and fruit) germination depends on the balance of two opposing forces: the growth potential of the embryonic axis (radicle–hypocotyl growth zone) and the restraint of the seed-covering layers ...

ABSTRACT Chemically distinctive features such as high salinity, low nutrient contents, and extremes of pH can limit the development of a vegetation cover on soil‐free bare ground. This study synthesises our previous work on the geoecology of numerous chemically distinctive bare sites in the South Island and adds a temporal component within the last ...
