Seed-coat thickness explains contrasting germination responses to smoke and heat in Leucadendron.

Fire stimulates the germination of most seeds in fire-prone vegetation. Fruits of (Proteaceae) are winged achenes or nutlets that correlate with their requirements for smoke and/or heat in promoting germination. We describe five possible smoke–heat dormancy-release/germination syndromes among plants, of which displays three (no response, smoke only, smoke and heat)....
