NOTA PRÉVIA Dormancy break in seeds of “ quina ” ( Strychnos pseudoquina A . St . - Hil
“Quina” (Strychnos pseudoquina A. St. Hil) is a medicinal plant species from the Brazilian Cerrado. As its seeds show dormancy, they were subjected to the treatments precooling at 5oC during 7 days, pre-heating at 40oC during 7 days, pre-soaking in sulfuric acid PA during 5 and 15 min, pre-soaking in boiling water during 5 and 15 min, pre-soaking in 100 and 200 ppm gibberellic acid during 48 h,...

متن کاملA proposed mechanism for physical dormancy break in seeds of Ipomoea lacunosa (Convolvulaceae).
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The water-impermeable seeds of Ipomoea lacunosa undergo sensitivity cycling to dormancy breaking treatment, and slits are formed around bulges adjacent to the micropyle during dormancy break, i.e. the water gap opens. The primary aim of this research was to identify the mechanism of slit formation in seeds of this species. METHODS Sensitive seeds were incubated at various ...
متن کاملMorphophysiological dormancy in seeds of three eastern North American Sanicula species (Apiaceae subf. Saniculoideae): evolutionary implications for dormancy break
Dormancy breaking and germination requirements were determined for seeds of the eastern North American (eNA) species Sanicula canadensis, Sanicula gregaria and Sanicula trifoliata, and the data compared to those available for the European–Asian (EurA) congener Sanicula europaea. Seeds of the three eNA species had underdeveloped embryos that were physiologically dormant, i.e., morphophysiologica...
