Seeds : ecology, biogeography, and evolution of dormancy and germination /

Show other versions (2)

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 se...
