许多生物整合来自多种来源的信息并表达适应行为，但它们在不同发育阶段如何做到这一点仍有待确定。种子是植物的胚胎阶段，需要根据与生存有关的环境线索来决定发芽的时间。我们研究了亚洲车前（Plantagoasiatica）种子出现的时间，同时操纵三叶草种子的存在和相邻P.亚洲种子相邻关系P. asiaticaseed和T.忏悔本身并不影响P的时机。亚洲崛起然而，当遇到T。repensseed，aP.在有同胞种子的情况下，asiaticaseed比在有非同胞种子的情况下出现得更快。种子的水提取物得到相同的结果。我们证明了P. asiaticaseeds整合了关于相邻关系的信息。通过水溶性化学品来控制亚洲种子和不同物种种子的存在，并相应调整它们的出苗行为。这些发现表明存在依赖于亲属的种间相互作用。
Numerous organisms integrate information from multiple sources and express adaptive behaviours, but how they do so at different developmental stages remains to be identified. Seeds, which are the embryonic stage of plants, need to make decisions about the timing of emergence in response to environmental cues related to survival. We investigated the timing of emergence ofPlantago asiatica(Plantaginaceae) seed while manipulating the presence ofTrifolium repensseed and the relatedness of neighbouringP. asiaticaseed. The relatedness of neighbouringP. asiaticaseed and the presence of seeds ofT. repensdid not on their own influence the timing ofP. asiaticaemergence. However, when encountering aT. repensseed, aP. asiaticaseed emerged faster in the presence of a sibling seed than in the presence of a non-sibling seed. Water extracts of seeds gave the same result. We show thatP. asiaticaseeds integrate information about the relatedness of neighbouringP. asiaticaseeds and the presence of seeds of a different species via water-soluble chemicals and adjust their emergence behaviour in response. These findings suggest the presence of kin-dependent interspecific interactions.
