Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Crossing gave much higher seed set than selfing in Saxifraga aizoides.
- Observation Flowers of Saxifraga aizoides are self-compatible.
- Observation Agamospermy did not occur in Saxifraga aizoides.
- Observation Germination of Saxifraga aizoides was fast and high in most populations and for most stratification and germination conditions.
- Observation Phenotypic variation indicated considerable genetic variation within and among populations of Saxifraga aizoides.
- Mechanism High germination capacity, successful selfing and high intrapopulational variation may maintain relic populations of Saxifraga aizoides.
