Description
Hailun Yu and co-authors study seeds of an invasive plant in northern China in a paper from two thousand twenty-four. The plant, a spiny nightshade relative, now spreads across the northeast and northwest and harms farm output. The team asks how seed traits and sprouting differ between regions.
They collected seeds from five populations spread over great distances and varied climates. Seeds from the northeast were larger and heavier than those from the northwest. In stress tests, seeds from dry areas tolerated heat and water stress better. Seeds from wetter areas were more sensitive to cold and salt. The authors say these local tweaks help the plant claim open ground and may grow under climate change.
