Macroevolutionary patterns in seed component mass and different evolutionary trajectories across seed desiccation responses.
Seed coat and seed reserve show substantial mass variation, play different roles in plant life strategies and are shaped by different selective forces. However, remarkably little is known about the macroevolution of the relative allocation in seed components and its influence on important ecophysiological processes. Using phylogenetic comparative methods and...Chen, Si‐Chong ; Wu, La‐Mei ; Wang, Bo ; Dickie, John B.
