Project description
 

Little is known about the influence of temperature change, induced by climate change, on the different phases in the generative reproduction process of plants. With common juniper as a model species, this influence is studied. Common juniper is chosen because the different phases are easy to distinguish and a negative relation between seed vitality and temperature is already demonstrated.
