Genetic analysis of tomato root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Seeds of Grevillea linearifolia germinate following fire, and have seed-coat dormancy broken by smoke and heat shock. Smoke breaks seed coat dormancy in Emmenanthe penduliflora by altering the permeability of the seed coat to an internal germination inhibitor, which subsequently escapes. This model ...
