Seed dimorphism, nutrients and salinity differentially affect seed traits of the desert halophyte <it>Suaeda aralocaspica</it> via multiple maternal effects

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Maternal effects may influence a range of seed traits simultaneously and are likely to be context-dependent. Disentangling the interactions of plant phenotype and growth environment on various seed traits is important for understandi...
