Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Both Tasmannia species have morphophysiological dormancy.
- Intervention effect Scarification of the seedcoat and seedcoat removal gave higher germination than the remaining treatments in T. sp. Mt Bellenden Ker.
- Observation Tasmannia membranea responded similarly well to Treatment 1 (scarification of the seedcoat).
- Observation Both scarified and intact Tasmannia seeds imbibed water.
- Observation Initial embryo to seed length (E:S) ratios of Tasmannia seeds were below 0.22.
- Observation The E:S ratio of T. sp. Mt Bellenden Ker increased up to 0.74 after 40 days, just before radicle emergence.
