At the core of plant regeneration, temperature and water supply are critical drivers for seed
dormancy (initiation, break) and germination. Hence, global climate change is altering these …

Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) occurs when the environment experienced by a parent
influences the development of their offspring. In this article, we develop a framework for …

Maternal effects in plants were recognized as long ago as 1909 (32). Recent evidence,
primarily over the last 15-20 years, shows that maternal effects can contribute substantially …

Plants in changing environments: Linking physiological, population. 2 Jun 2014. Plants in
Changing Environments: Linking Physiological, Population, and Community. Ecology, 1996 …

The growing conditions of a parent plant may affect the degree of dormancy of its seeds.
This has been demonstrated in numerous species, both wild and cultivated. The evidence …

This chapter considers the nature, role, and evolutionary implications of phenotypic plasticity
as an adaptive property in plants. Plasticity is here defined as variation in phenotypic …

In outcrossing plants, seed dispersal distance is often less than pollen movement. If the
scale of environmental heterogeneity within a population is greater than typical seed …

A fundamental problem in plant population biology and evolutionary ecology is determining
the extent to which natural selection changes the gene pool of populations in the wild. While …

Seasonal germination timing strongly influences lifetime fitness and can affect the ability of
plant populations to colonize and persist in new environments. To quantify the influence of …

Stressful parental (usually maternal) environments can dramatically influence expression of
traits in offspring, in some cases resulting in phenotypes that are adaptive to the inducing …
