• The natural history of soil seed banks of arable land (2006, background): “For example, in a papilionoid legume seed, the palisade cells in the lens pull apart creating a water gap (Baskin, 2003), whereas in seeds of prickly sida (Sida spinosa L.) (Malvaceae), the chalazal plug is dislodged (Egley and Paul 1981).”
• The functional role of soil seed banks in natural communities. (2014, background): “It is not yet clear whether thick or impermeable seed coats influence germination as much as they influence predation, because most impermeable seed coats have specialized structures that control germination independently from coat thickness (Baskin, 2003).”
• Defining transient and persistent seed banks in species with pronounced seasonal dormancy and germination patterns (2005, background): “Considered together, they are present in freshly matured seeds of about 60% of all species and in about 86% of those whose seeds are dormant at maturity (Baskin and Baskin, 2003).”
