We studied the effects of seed storage on germination and dormancy alleviation in three species of Fabaceae endemic to campo rupestrein southeastern Brazil. Fresh seeds of Collaea cipoensis, Mimosa maguirei and Mimosa foliolosawere set to germinate and germination of seeds after four, five and 13 years of storage was tested. Seed viability was maintained for all species after the full storage period. Seed storage significantly increased germination percentage and decreased germination time for…

Factors affecting germination of Mimosa ephedroides
Mimosa ephedroides is an endemic shrub from western Argentina. Knowledge on its germination response to different environmental factors contributes to an efficient use of this species in ecological…
Breaking Seed Dormancy during Dry Storage: A Useful Tool or Major Problem for Successful Restoration via Direct Seeding?
TLDR
Of the various treatments available to break seed dormancy, afterripening, that is, dormancy break during dry storage, is the most cost-effective and most important recommendation probably is that germination responses of the seeds need to be monitored for germinability/viability during the storage period.
Multi-year sampling provides insight into the bet-hedging capacity of the soil-stored seed reserve of a threatened Acacia species from Western Australia
TLDR
Temperature requirements for dormancy release in physically dormant seeds of the threatened legume Acacia awestoniana (Fabaceae) from Western Australia are examined to provide insight for the management, conservation and restoration of this and similar threatened plant species in fire-prone ecosystems.

Ecology and evolution of plant diversity in the endangered campo rupestre: a neglected conservation priority
TLDR
It is shown that campo rupestre is fully comparable to and remarkably convergent with both fynbos and kwongkan, and fulfills the criteria for a classic OCBIL.

Effect of seed storage on germination, seedling growth and survival of Mimosa foliolosa (Fabaceae): implications for seed banks and restoration ecology
Our goal was to examine the effects of seed storage on seed germination, seedling growth and survival of Mimosa foliolosa (Fabaceae). Fresh and stored seeds were set to germinate under optimum…
Contrasting seed morphology dynamics in relation to the alleviation of dormancy with soil storage
TLDR
The effect of prolonged soil burial in the field on seed morphological traits (seed coat structure, permeability) to identify their potential roles in seed dormancy and release was examined to detect species-specific and environmentally induced variation in seed morphology following soil burial.

The role of native woody species in the restoration of Campos Rupestres in quarries
TLDR
This study demonstrates the practical efficiency of using some species native to harsh tropical ecosystems, e.g. Campos Rupestres, to restore quarry ecosystems in terms of their transplantation success, effects on both the establishment of herbaceous species and soil conservation.
Evolutionary considerations of claims for physical dormancy-break by microbial action and abrasion by soil particles†
TLDR
There is little evidence in the scientific literature to support assumptions that dormancy-break in seeds (and fruits) with water-impermeable coats occurs via soil-microbial action and/or abrasion by soil particles, which do not make good evolutionary sense.
Taxonomy, anatomy and evolution of physical dormancy in seeds
TLDR
Phylogenetic data and fossil evidence seem to support the PY→(PY+PD) evolutionary sequence in Anacardiaceae, which also may have occured in Leguminosae.
