What happens when the rain is back? A hypothetical model on how germination and post-germination occur in a species from transient seed banks.

We hypothesize that by simulating the natural priming in seeds of a species that forms transient seed banks it is possible to clarify molecular aspects of germination that lead to the recruitment of seedlings when the next rainy season begins. We used seeds of Solanum lycocarpum as a biological mode...
