Ecological aspects of seed desiccation sensitivity (2003, background): “…is probably not directly causal (i.e. large seeds are not recalcitrant simply because they are big) fits observations that numerous very large seeds are desiccation tolerant and that some comparatively small seeds are desiccation sensitive (Davies & Pritchard 1998; Dickie & Pritchard 2002).”
2 Opportunistic Growth and Desiccation Tolerance: The Ecological Success of Poikilohydrous Autotrophs (2007, background): “However, single gene loss in certain instances (Dickie and Pritchard 2002) cannot be excluded.”
Studies on the seed biology of 100 native species of trees in a seasonal moist tropical forest, Panama, Central America (2006, background): “There is an association between latesuccessional moist tropical forest trees with large, moist, nondormant seeds and desiccation sensitivity (Vázquez-Yañes et al., 2000; Dickie and Pritchard, 2002).”
