Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Control and warm-stratified seeds germinated at 35% to 65%.
- Intervention effect Germination was low after the CCC treatment.
- Intervention effect Germination was low during GA3 treatment.
- Intervention effect Warm stratification sped up seed germination.
- Observation Fruits produce viable seeds able to germinate under controlled conditions.
- Mechanism The authors infer morphophysiological dormancy in the seeds.
- Observation Propagation from seeds is possible.
- Mechanism The authors attribute the lack of natural seedlings to unfavorable recruitment climate.
- Recommendation Controlled-condition seedlings could be useful for future translocation to reduce extinction risk.
