Haloxylon ammodendron adapts to desert environments through seed polymorphism during diaspore germination and seedling establishment

IntroductionSeed polymorphism, defined as the production of two or more types of diaspores with distinct morphology and ecological function within a species, represents a bet-hedging strategy that enables plants to cope with unpredictable spatiotemporal environmental variability. Previous studies ha...
