Deterring rodent seed‐predation using seed‐coating technologies
With many degraded environments undergoing restoration efforts, there is a growing need for the optimization of direct seeding practices. Seeds planted on wildlands are often consumed by rodents, leading to reduced plant establishment. Coating seeds in rodent aversive products may prevent seed‐predation.

Seed coat development in explosively dispersed seeds of Cardamine hirsuta [PDF]
AbstractBackground and AimsSeeds are dispersed by explosive coiling of the fruit valves in Cardamine hirsuta. This rapid coiling launches the small seeds on ballistic trajectories to spread over a 2 m radius around the parent plant. The seed surface interacts with both the coiling fruit valve during launch and subsequently with the air during flight ...

Biomechanical, biochemical, and morphological mechanisms of heat shock-mediated germination in Carica papaya seed. [PDF]
Carica papaya (papaya) seed germinate readily fresh from the fruit, but desiccation induces a dormant state. Dormancy can be released by exposure of the hydrated seed to a pulse of elevated temperature, typical of that encountered in its tropical habitat.
