About the Book: Seeds: Ecology Biogeography and Evolution of Dormancy and
Germination: 2nd Edition
The new edition of Seeds contains new information on many topics discussed in
the first edition, such as fruit/seed heteromorphism, breaking of physical
dormancy and effects of inbreeding depression on germination. New topics have
been added to each chapter, including dichotomous keys to types of seeds and
kinds of dormancy; a hierarchical dormancy classification system; role of seed
banks in restoration of plant communities; and seed germination in relation to
parental effects, pollen competition, local adaption, climate change and
karrikinolide in smoke from burning plants.
