Many endangered plants such as Eryngium viviparum (Apiaceae) present a poor germination rate. This fact could be due to intrinsic and extrinsic seed variability influencing germination and dormancy of seeds. The objective of this study is to better understand the physiological mechanism of seed latency and, through artificial intelligence models, to determine the factors that stimulate germinat...

The successful use of native species in conservation actions depends on basic knowledge their biology, beginning with the identification regenerating individuals field, up to behavior and development from early stages germination. Moreover, seed propagation germination may be limited by occurrence dormancy. objective this work was identify best method overcome dormancy Hymenaea parvifolia Huber...

The transition from seed dormancy to germination is triggered by environmental factors, and in pomegranate (Punica granatum) seeds higher germination percentages are achieved by warm + cold stratification rather than by cold stratification alone. Our objective was to define the pattern of internal oxidative changes in pomegranate seeds as dormancy was being broken by warm + cold stratification ...
