🚨 Key takeaway: A single fire can limit reproduction and seed quality for years, highlighting the importance of longer fire-free intervals to allow canopy recovery and healthy seed production. (9/9)

💡 This is the first quantitative assessment of the evolutionary tempo and mode of germination salinity tolerance across diverse plant taxa and it shows how ecology and evolution jointly shape stress responses in early life stages. (7/7)

🌱Annals of Botany invites submissions to the new Special Issue "Exploring seed development, structure and physiology", edited by AoB editors Gabriela Auge and Chunhui Zhang. (1/4) #seeds #plantscience #specialissue ‪@gabyplantbio.bsky.social‬
Why does this matter?
Understanding how these unique seeds develop can reveal how different reproductive strategies evolved in flowering plants and help preserve biodiversity in early-divergent lineages like Annonaceae. 🌿📚(10/10)
