Climate Change during Cretaceous/Paleogene as a Driving Force for the Evolutionary Radiation of Physical Dormancy in Fabaceae

Physical dormancy (PY) due to a water-impermeable seed/fruit coat is one of the characteristic features of many species of Fabaceae; however, the timing and context of the evolution of this trait are poorly understood. In this investigation, fossil and molecular data are used to constrain the timing...
