In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

Decay stages of Jurassic wood debris from Scotland: evidence for the coevolution of fungal rot, arthropods and the nurse log strategy [PDF]
New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1557-1571, November 2025.Summary A key feature of extant conifer forests is the high percentage of seeds that germinate and establish on dead wood; in some forests, this can exceed 90%. This deadwood can act as an ideal nursery for young tree species, leading to this type of seedbed being termed ‘nurse logs’.

Embryo excision in Compositae, with implications for combating biodiversity loss [PDF]
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 12, Issue 5, September-October 2024.Abstract Premise Embryo excision is an effective, under‐described means of promoting germination in the sunflower family and may help to ensure the survival of endangered taxa or lineages with limited seed availability. Methods and Results We describe and illustrate a detailed method of embryo excision used successfully to stimulate germination in a ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 1500-1512, June 2022., 2022 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract When feeding on a plant, herbivorous insects alter the quality of the plant as a food source. This affects other organisms interacting with the same plant. These so‐called ‘plant‐mediated interactions’ can be altered by parasitoids that attack the herbivores.

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 3, Page 764-775, May 2022., 2022 Using the seed dispersal effectiveness framework, we tracked seed fate in a dispersal limited system finding that ant workers (Formicidae, Ectatomma ruidum) act as secondary dispersers for the pioneer tree Zanthoxylum ekmanii (Rutaceae) whose seeds have no visible adaptation for ant dispersal.

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2009 Las Bacterias Promotoras de Crecimiento de Plantas (BPCP), son microorganismos fijadores de nitrógeno atmosférico y a su vez producen hormonas que aprovechan las plantas para llevar a cabo su desarrollo. Es importante la utilización de microorganismos benéficos para reducir la fertilización quÃmica.

Recruitment limitation in three large‐seeded plant species in a tropical moist forest
Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 2, Page 418-430, March 2022., 2022 Recruitment limitation results from three mechanisms: (i) lack of seed sources (i.e., source limitation), (ii) failure of available seeds to reach recruitment sites (i.e., dispersal limitation), and (iii) failure of arrived seeds to establish at a location (i.e., establishment limitation).

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2013 Practical technologies are required to preserve the viability of seeds particularly those known to be short-term viable species like Carica papaya (papaya). Papaya seeds were imbibed in water or chemical solutions (CaCl2 10-5 M, salicylic acid 10-4 M, and gibberellic acid 10-5 M) combined with inoculation of bacterial cell suspension to determine their

Métodos de análisis de datos en la germinación de semillas, un ejemplo: Manfreda brachystachya
Botanical Sciences, 1996 Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de los métodos de análisis de la germinación. Éstos se dividieron en gráficos y analíticos (índices, ajustes a funciones logísticas y de distribución normal).
