Understanding how species respond to climate change is key to informing vulnerability
assessments and designing effective conservation strategies, yet research efforts on wildlife …

During seed growth, the filial organs, Vicia embryos and barley endosperm, differentiate into
highly specialized storage tissues. Differentiation is evident on structural and morphological …

The conventional understanding of the role of the seed coat is that it provides a protective
layer for the developing zygote. Recent data show that the picture is more nuanced. The seed …

Cereal grasses of the Triticeae tribe have been the major food source in temperate regions
since the dawn of agriculture. Their large genomes are characterized by a high content of …

(ODD) protocol for describing Individual-and Agent-Based Models (ABMs) is now widely …

Biological responses to climate change have been widely documented across taxa and
regions, but it remains unclear whether species are maintaining a good match between …

Plant seeds prepare for germination already during seed maturation. We performed a detailed
transcriptome analysis of barley (Hordeum vulgare) grain maturation, desiccation, and …

The potential of ecological models for supporting environmental decision making is
increasingly acknowledged. However, it often remains unclear whether a model is realistic and …

As ectothermic organisms, butterflies have widely been used as models to explore the
predicted impacts of climate change. However, most studies explore only one life stage; to our …

To analyse carbohydrate metabolism and its role during early seed development of barley we
characterised genes encoding two cell wall‐bound invertases (HvCWINV1 and HvCWINV2…
