Arabibopsis ecotype Cvi: Cvi Spring, seeds were buried in May 2008 with final recovery in October 2008. Cvi Autumn, seeds were buried in October 2007 with final recovery in October 2008. Arabibopsis ecotype Bur: Bur Autumn, seeds were buried October 2009 with the final recovery in October 2010. In order to consider only the response to seed burial, data from seeds before burial was omitted as their response is determined by prior maternal maturation conditions. Statistical significance: ^aP < 0.001; ^bP < 0.01; ^cP < 0.05; ^dP < 0.1. For Cvi spring data see Supporting Information Table S1, for Cvi and Bur autumn data see supplementary datasets S1 in Footitt et al. (2011, 2013).
