Simulating the germination response to diurnally alternating temperatures under climate change scenarios: comparative studies on Carex diandra seeds

摘要

Background and Aims Environmental temperature regulates plant regeneration via seed in several superimposed ways, and this complex regulation will be disrupted by climate change. The role of diurnally alternating temperatures (Delta T) in terminating dormancy will be a major factor in this disruption, as its effects on seed germination are immediate.
