Despite this diversity, humans currently satisfy most requirements with surprisingly few plant species; for example, just three crops – rice, wheat and maize – comprise more... -

Thermal thresholds for seed germination in Mediterranean species are higher in mountain compared with lowland areas
Each taxon is characterized by a temperature range over which seed germination is possible and this may vary in space and time in relation to climate and ecological conditions. We used thermal modelling to test the hypothesis that thermal thresholds for seed germination can predict germination timing of Mediterranean species...Picciau, R. ; Pritchard, Hugh ; Mattana, E. ; Bacchetta, G.
