    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenia_(plants)

    Xenia effects in maize. Xenia (also known as the xenia effect) in plants is the effect of pollen on seeds and fruit of the fertilized plant. [1] The effect is separate from the contribution of the pollen towards the next generation.

  3. Seed dormancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_dormancy

    True dormancy or inherent (or innate) dormancy is caused by conditions within the seed that prevent germination even if the conditions are favorable. [7] Imposed dormancy is caused by the external conditions that remain unsuitable for germination [8] Seed dormancy can be divided into two major categories based on what part of the seed produces dormancy: exogenous and endogenous. [9]

    This case is not isolated. Around the same time, certain varieties of maize could be found with ubiquity across part of South America, suggesting a highly frequented and established trade route existed. Phytolith data from the southeastern United States suggest that two different lineages of maize were introduced from two different sources.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazarov_cyclization_reaction

    The silicon-directed Nazarov cyclization reaction was subsequently employed in the synthesis of the natural product Silphinene, shown below. The cyclization takes place before elimination of the benzyl alcohol moiety, so that the resulting stereochemistry of the newly formed ring arises from approach of the silyl alkene anti to the ether.

  7. Acyloin condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acyloin_condensation

    Protic solvents effect the Bouveault-Blanc ester reduction rather than condensation. Independent of dilution, acyloin condensation of a diester favours intramolecular cyclisation (for all but the smallest rings) over intermolecular polymerisation. This effect is believed to originate in weak adsorption of the ester terminals at nearby sites on ...

  9. Karrikin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karrikin

    The karrikins and water can provide a 'wake-up call' for such seeds, triggering germination of the soil seed bank. The plants that depend on karrikins to grow are known as "fire-followers", [1] they emerge grow quickly, flower and produce new seeds, which fall to the ground. These seeds can remain in the soil for decades, until the next fire ...
