Relationship between seed moisture content and acquisition of impermeability in Nelumbo nucifera (Nelumbonaceae) [PDF]
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2017 Seeds of Nelumbo nucifera do not imbibe water, and thus have physical dormancy (PY). However, a proportion of seeds are permeable to water, and so we hypothesized that variation in moisture content is a reason for the development of both permeable and ...

Aperture variation in the pollen of Nelumbo (Nelumbonaceae) [PDF]
Grana, 2007 The evolutionary and developmental origin of tricolpate pollen is of great interest because pollen of this kind defines a major clade of angiosperms (eudicots), a clade that is also well supported by molecular data. We examined evidence that tricolpate and monosulcate pollen types are produced alongside each other in the anthers of Nelumbo flowers, as ...
