Plasticity of the thermal requirements of exotherms and adaptation to environmental conditions.

Thermal characteristics of seeds of wild herbaceous (91 species) and crop plants (34 species) pooled across taxa significantly differed in the width of their thermal windows W T (wild herbaceous plants 22.6 ± 0.42°C, crop plants 24.8 ± 0.61°C, p MW < 0.001), which are associated with differences in their minimum germination temperatures t d min (3.0 ± 0.31°C, 1.6 ± 0.45°C, p MW < 0.05) and marginally significant differences in the “skewness” of their Lactin functions (71.4 ± 0.87%, 74.4 ± 1.15%, p MW = 0.052).
