Cultivated Palm Seed Germination
The propagation of palms for agricultural and ornamental purposes is accomplished typically by seeds. The few exceptions are certain cultivars of Phoenix dactylifera and some ornamental palms such as Rhapis spp., which propagate by vegetative (division) and tissue culture. Because of slow, irregular germination in most species, seed propagation may be a challenge. New palm species are being int...
متن کاملHydroxystilbenes Are Monomers in Palm Fruit Endocarp Lignins.
Lignin, the plant cell wall polymer that binds fibers together but makes processing difficult, is traditionally formed from three monomers, the so-called monolignols (p-coumaryl, coniferyl, and sinapyl alcohols). Recently, we discovered, in grass lignins, a phenolic monomer that falls outside the canonical lignin biosynthetic pathway, the flavone tricin. As we show here, palm fruit (macaúba [Ac...
متن کاملScatter Hoarding of Seeds Confers Survival Advantages and Disadvantages to Large-Seeded Tropical Plants at Different Life Stages
Scatter hoarding of seeds by animals contributes significantly to forest-level processes, including plant recruitment and forest community composition. However, the potential positive and negative effects of caching on seed survival, germination success, and seedling survival have rarely been assessed through experimental studies. Here, I tested the hypothesis that seed burial mimicking caches ...
متن کاملSeed germination and vigor.
Germination vigor is driven by the ability of the plant embryo, embedded within the seed, to resume its metabolic activity in a coordinated and sequential manner. Studies using "-omics" approaches support the finding that a main contributor of seed germination success is the quality of the messenger RNAs stored during embryo maturation on the mother plant. In addition, proteostasis and DNA inte...
متن کاملEffect of X-irradiation on date palm seed germination and seedling growth
This study was conducted to examine the effect of low doses of X-rays on date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L., cv. Khalas) seed germination and seedling growth. A significant reduction in seed germination was observed in response to X-irradiation as compared to the non-irradiated control. A significant reduction in seed germination percentage (82.85%) began at 0.25 Gy of X-rays and persisted to de...
