Thanks to evolution's incessant tinkering, these seeds have become some of nature's deftest dispersers, tumbling inches, feet, sometimes miles from their original source. Now, two recent studies.

Dispersal Mechanisms: Seeds can be dispersed long distances by wind because they move in updrafts. Longevity: Dandelion seeds are not long lived in the soil. Dormancy: The seed of dandelion are not dormant and can germinate immediately in the same year that they mature of the plant. Competitiveness:

The seedhead is gray-white and spherical. Similar species: Redseed dandelion [Taraxacum laevigatum (Willd.) DC.] is very similar to dandelion but in contrast to that species, the terminal lobe of the leaf is about the same size as the lateral lobes, and the seeds are red to purple brown.

Plumed seeds comprise a major class of dispersal strategies used by numerous and diverse groups of flowering plants, of which the common dandelion is a representative example. Plumed seeds.

After pollination, the dandelion flower matures into a white fluffy "blowball". This comprises single fruits each attached to a tiny brush-like parachute called a "pappus" - which has about 100 individual bristle filaments. This structure allows the seed to remain aloft over distances of 100 km or more when the air is warm and dry.

The dandelion seed has a fluffy structure that enables it to hold the most prolonged wind-based dispersal record. Commonly the seeds land 2 meters away from their mother plant. Still, in windy, dry weather favored by the dandelion, the seeds can fly up to 30 kilometers and even far (150 kilometers in some conditions).

This pappus facilitates enables the formation of a separated vortex ring (SVR) during flight ( 1 ); however, the pappus structure is not static but reversibly changes shape by closing in response to moisture. Here we characterise the biomechanical function of the pappus morphing regarding SVR dynamics and flight capacity.
