Automated extraction of seed morphological traits from images
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The description of biological objects, such as seeds, mainly relies on manual measurements of few characteristics, and on visual classification of structures, both of which can be subjective, error prone and time‐consuming.

Above- and belowground herbivory jointly impact defense and seed dispersal traits in Taraxacum officinale [PDF]
, 2014 Plants are able to cope with herbivores by inducing defensive traits or growth responses that allow them to reduce or avoid the impact of herbivores. Since above- and belowground herbivores differ substantially in life-history traits, for example feeding

Persistence and Changes in Morphological Traits of Herbaceous Seeds Due to Burial in Soil
Agronomy, 2020 Seeds in soil banks can survive for many years before conditions become more suitable for germination. Meanwhile, seeds undergo changes in morphology and viability. In this study, we launched an artificial seed bank experiment that included 26 species of

Potent endogenous allelopathic compounds in Lepidium sativum seed exudate: effects on epidermal cell growth in Amaranthus caudatus seedlings [PDF]
, 2012 Many plants exude allelochemicals – compounds that affect the growth of neighbouring plants. This study reports further studies of the reported effect of cress (Lepidium sativum) seed(ling) exudates on seedling growth in Amaranthus caudatus and Lactuca ...

Seed morphobiometry, morphology of germination and emergence of quinoa seeds ‘BRS Piabiru’ [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2020 Quinoa, classified as a pseudocereal, presents greater nutritional value compared to traditional cereals. Considering the potential for cultivation presented by the species and the benefits of studying plant morphology and morphobiometry, this paper describes seed and seedling morphobiometric characteristics of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd ...

Investigations into stability in the fig/ fig-wasp mutualism [PDF]
, 2010 Fig trees (Ficus, Moraceae) and their pollinating wasps (Chalcidoidea, Agaonidae) are involved in an obligate mutualism where each partner relies on the other in order to reproduce: the pollinating fig wasps are a fig tree’s only pollen disperser ...
