physaria fendleri/starch

Soil seed banks may accumulate and store seed genotypes produced over many seasons. If germination and establishment of these soil seeds are influenced by seed genotypes, then seed bank and seedling populations may differ genetically. I compared the genetic structure of dormant but viable soil seeds

Seed banks are an important component of many plant populations, but few empirical studies have investigated the genetic relationship between soil seeds and surface plants. We compared the genetic structure of soil seeds and surface plants of the desert mustard Lesquerella fendleri within and among
