%X Photoinhibition of seed germination, known to occur notably in species growing in dry and hot habitats, is considered an adaptation to avoid germination at the soil surface after unpredictable rainfall events during the dry season. Hence, the association of this ecophysiological response with plant life histories and the natural environment was investigated in Lilioid monocots, a group of plants where photoinhibition has been pre-eminently observed
