Germination of dimorphic seeds of Suaeda aralocaspica in response to light and salinity conditions during and after cold stratification. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Cold stratification is a requirement for seed dormancy breaking in many species, and thus it is one of the important factors for the regulation of timing of germination. However, few studies have examined the influence of various environmental conditions

Seed dimorphism, nutrients and salinity differentially affect seed traits of the desert halophyte Suaeda aralocaspica via multiple maternal effects. [PDF]
BMC Plant Biol, 2012 Background: Maternal effects may influence a range of seed traits simultaneously and are likely to be context-dependent. Disentangling the interactions of plant phenotype and growth environment on various seed traits is important for understanding ...

Global distribution, climatic preferences and photosynthesis-related traits of C4 eudicots and how they differ from those of C4 grasses. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We identified global centres of species richness for C4 eudicots and C4 grasses and discussed the climatic preferences in relation to plant functional traits. C4 eudicots were abundant in deserts and xeric shrublands, tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas and shrublands. We found C4 eudicots to occur in areas with less annual precipitation than
