Green cotyledons of two Hakea species control seedling mass and morphology by supplying mineral nutrients rather than organic compounds
•Hakea species dominate shrubby vegetation on seasonally dry, nutrient impoverished soils in Australia. We hypothesized that the exposed cotyledons control growth of the young seedling by providing it with mineral nutrients rather than C-based compounds. • Two representative species with differing s...
