3 in tennis, to be the first/second, etc on a list of players expected to succeed in a competition -- выступать под номером первым/вторым и т. д. (в теннисе)
Responses to fluctuating temperatures are consistent among seeds of many species, but the physiological mechanisms underlying such responses are still unknown.
Granivores were even able to locate seeds from which dung beetles had removed the surrounding faeces.
None of the seeds cached in this study survived to germination.
On the other hand, seeds survived longer at lower than at higher temperatures.
In four instances, the testa was removed from one end of the seed and the fleshy cotyledons eaten from the centre.
If the glucosinolate content of rapeseed seed meal remains low, it too can be used as a feed supplement.
There is also a list of over 40 institutes and individuals working on jackfruit, and 25 pages of recipes using the fruit or seeds.
Figure 2 summarizes seed selectivities ranked by mass for each granivore class separately.
