Since seed reserves can influence seed germination, the quantitative and qualitative differences in seed reserves may relate to the germination characteristics of species. The purpose of our study was
Germination is a crucial step for invasive plants to extend their distribution under different environmental conditions in a new range. Therefore, information on germination characteristics of invasiv
Values shown are the mean ± SD of the percentages of green expanded cotyledons seedlings referred to germinated seeds and obtained in two different experiments with at least 100 seeds per genotype in
Experiments were conducted in the Tabonuco forest at Luquillo Experimental Forest to determine the germination success of a number of species in different light environments. Species tested included:
