“…For the classical physiological measurements recorded from CRD, we tested the data for the assumptions (α = 0.01) of normality of residuals (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test) and homogeneity of variances (Levene test), and, when the assumptions were violated, we performed data transformation according to [36] (S3 Table). For cumulative germination curves, we chose regression models based on significance from ANOVA test and model fitting to observed data.…”

What happens when the rain is back? A hypothetical model on how germination and post-germination occur in a species from transient seed banks

We hypothesize that by simulating the natural priming in seeds of a species that forms transient seed banks it is possible to clarify molecular aspects of germination that lead to the recruitment of seedlings when the next rainy season begins. We used seeds of Solanum lycocarpum as a biological model. Our findings support the idea that the increment of seed germination kinetics when the rainy season returns is mainly based on the metabolism and embryonic growth, and that the hydropriming, at the end of seed dispersion, increases the germination window time of these seeds by mainly increasing the degradation of galactomannan of the cell wall. This can improve the energy supply (based on carbon metabolism) for seedling growth in post-germination, which improves the seedling's survival chances. From these findings, we promote a hypothetical model about how the priming at the end of the rainy season acts on mRNA synthesis in the germination of seeds from transient banks and the consequence of this priming at the beginning of the following rainy season. This model predicts that besides the Gibberellin and Abscisic Acid balance (content and sensitivity), Auxin would be a key component for the seed-seedling transition in Neotropical areas.Seed collection was performed under authorization number SISGEN AB0EB45.

Thus, when we understand how the soil seed bank works, we do not only outline strategies for in situ conservationism of species, but also ex situ (germplasm banks). In this context, several reports have brought light to the functionality of these banks, relying mainly on longevity and the germination-dormancy balance of seeds [e.g., 7 and their references]. However, we still know little about what affects this germination-dormancy balance from a molecular point of view. A strategy to fill this gap is to cross classic physiological measurements of the germination ecophysiology with key components of the gene expression involved in embryo growth [8].A limiting factor to perform a crosstalk between gene expression and germination ecophysiology would be that laboratory protocols are not very representative of what happens in the field from an ecological point of view. However, this barrier is being overcome by the idea that detailed laboratory protocols for sampling communities and performing germination experiments can produce significant characters that are as enlightening as those obtained in field experiments. Therefore, if we have these protocols, we will be able advance the understanding of functional plant traits [see 9]. For example, the interruption of...

“…On the contrary, non-parametric models can be extensively used to avoid the assumptions needed for parametric ANOVA. Ribeiro- Oliveira et al (2018) mentioned that non-parametric methods are applicable, especially when there are no residuals adjusting to the Gaussian distribution (Judice et al 1999). This seems to be quite conflicting because normal approximation for large samples is considered as a basis of the nonparametric statistics (Zar, 1999).…”

“…However, from a practical point of view, the problem is that scientists face difficulty in interpretation and discussion of results on scales other than the original (Ribeiro- Oliveira et al 2018). Even after having its criticism, data transformation remains as a very commonly used technique because though it is not proper for every data set (Quinn and Keough, 2002;Jaeger, Relevance of Data Transformation Techniques … 82 2008;O'Hara and Kotze, 2010), the reasons for transforming data are much more than not to use it all (Bartlett, 1947;Keene, 1995;Ahmad et al 2006).…”

In the field of weed science, data transformation techniques are of frequent use while evaluating investigating weed count data. Even after having its criticism, data transformation still remains as a very popular technique because the reasons for its use are quite greater than its non-use. Depending on the functional relationship existing between mean and variance of the weed count data, suitable transformations like logarithmic, square root and angular, should be used.

“…O processo germinativo das sementes foi estudado usando um modelo hierárquico As pressuposições do modelo foram verificadas pelo teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, para determinar a distribuição normal dos resíduos, e pelo teste de Levene, para homocedasticidade, ambos a 0,01 de significância. Toda vez que a transformação de dados não levou à ajustes da pressuposição, mas melhorou a probabilidade dos testes, optou-se pela estatística paramétrica (RIBEIRO-OLIVEIRA et al 2018). A comparação da significância do modelo se deu via teste F de Snedecor, e as comparações múltiplas das médias foram viabilizadas pelo teste de Tukey, ambos 0,05 de significância.…”
