Most-cited papers in Plant Species Biology

Taxonomy, anatomy and evolution of physical dormancy in seeds

Jerry M. Baskin, Carol C. Baskin, Xiaojie Li · 1 Aug 2000

Abstract Physical dormancy (PY) is caused by a water‐impermeable seed or fruit coat. It is known, or highly suspected, to occur in nine orders and 15 families of angiosperms ( sensu Angiosperm Phylogeny Group 1998), 13 of which are core eudicots. The Zingiberales is the only monocot order, and Cannaceae ( Canna ) the only…

Leaf Structure and Photosynthetic Performance as Related to the Forest Succession of Deciduous Broad‐Leaved Trees <sup>1</sup>

Takayoshi Koike · 1 Dec 1988

Abstract Photosynthetic response to light intensity and leaf anatomy was measured in trees of 30 seral deciduous broad‐leaved species native to the northern part of Japan. Early successional species showed high photosynthetic rates at high light saturation, while late successional species displayed low photosynthetic rates at high light saturation. The photosynthetic characteristics of mid‐successional or…

Smoke as a germination cue

Johannes Van Staden, N A C Brown, Anna K. Jäger et al. · 1 Aug 2000

Abstract Fire is a major environmental selective force that influences plant communities in many parts of the world. Reproductive strategies have evolved as adaptations to the various factors generated by, and/or associated with, fire. This is particularly true for seeds, in which strategies have evolved that respond to both the physical and chemical germination cues…

New Perspectives in Pollination Biology: Floral Fragrances. A day in the life of a linalool molecule: Chemical communication in a plant‐pollinator system. Part 1: Linalool biosynthesis in flowering plants

Robert A. Raguso, Eran Pichersky · 1 Aug 1999

Abstract The monoterpene alcohol, linalool, is present in the floral fragrance of diverse plant families and is attractive to a broad spectrum of pollinators, herbivores and parasitoids. Floral emission of linalool has evolved de novo in the fragrant, moth‐pollinated annual Clarkia breweri (Gray) Greene (Onagraceae) through a combination of up‐regulation and ectopic expression of its…

On the ecological and evolutionary significance of storage in clonal plants

Jun‐Ichirou Suzuki, Josef F. Stuefer · 1 Apr 1999

Environmental heterogeneity has received wide attention in clonal plant research over the last decade. Most studies have focussed on the effects of spatial variation in environmental conditions on the performance of ramets and genets, while the effects of temporal heterogeneity have only occasionally been studied. As a consequence, our current knowledge about functional responses of…

Plant Species Biology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Plant Species Biology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Plant Species Biology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Plant Species Biology use?
Plant Species Biology uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Plant Species Biology 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Plant Species Biology?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Plant Species Biology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Plant Species Biology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Plant Species Biology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Plant Species Biology?
Plant Species Biology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Plant Species Biology template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Plant Species Biology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Plant Species Biology template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Plant Species Biology template cost?
You can start writing in the Plant Species Biology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Plant Species Biology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
