Structure of the developing pea seed coat and the post-phloem transport pathway of nutrients.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Invasion by alien plants may be partially related to disturbance-related increases in nutrient availability and decreases of competition with native species, and to superior competitive ability of the invader. Oxalis pes-caprae is an invasive winter geophyte in the Mediterranean Islands that reprodu...
