DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8503
Abstract: Abstract The regeneration niche of many plant species involves spatially and temporally unpredictable disturbances, called recruitment windows of opportunity. However, even species with clear dispersal adaptations such as fleshy berries may not successfully reach such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3715
Abstract: In savanna ecosystems, fire and herbivory alter the competitive relationship between trees and grasses. Mechanistically, grazing herbivores favor trees by removing grass, which reduces tree-grass competition and limits fire. Conversely, browsing herbivores consume trees and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10725-017-0257-4
Abstract: Previous studies have revealed that a basic helix–loop–helix domain transcription factor AtTT8 is not only involved in biosynthesis of anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins, but also regulates seed development and oil biosynthesis in Arabidopsis. However, the functions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-13833-y
Abstract: Identifying early life-stage transitions limiting seagrass recruitment could improve our ability to target demographic processes most responsive to management. Here we determine the magnitude of life-stage transitions along gradients in physical disturbance limiting seedling establishment… read more here.

An Epigenetic Pathway in Rice Connects Genetic Variation to Anaerobic Germination and Seedling Establishment.

DOI: 10.1093/plphys/kiab100
Abstract: Rice production is shifting from transplanting seedlings to direct sowing of seeds. Following heavy rains, directly sown seeds may need to germinate under anaerobic environments, but most rice (Oryza sativa) genotypes cannot survive these conditions.… read more here.

Abstract: Ecological restoration can reverse biodiversity loss worldwide, yet restoration goals and outcomes vary widely, which limits this potential. Divergent restoration outcomes may stem from variation in conditions at the outset of restoration, but empirical evidence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0275710
Abstract: Germination and seedling establishment for transplanting into hydroponics often uses porous substrates, but fine roots grow into these substrates, and they cannot be removed without damaging these roots. Seedlings transplanted without removal of substrates can… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.908349
Abstract: Flooding events caused by severe rains and poor soil drainage can interfere with plant germination and seedling establishment. Rice is one of the cereal crops that has unique germination strategies under flooding. One of these… read more here.
