How to Test for Seed Mucilage to Examine an Age‐Old Question: A Response to Ladwig and Lucas (2024) [PDF]
ABSTRACT Traits of seeds are far less‐studied than those of vegetative plants, despite the importance of this stage in a plant's life cycle. Much research has demonstrated the importance of certain aspects of seed phenotype, including both chemical and physical traits, to survival in the face of biotic and abiotic selective pressures.
