Contrasting Osmotic Stress Responses and Provenance Effects on Seed Germination and Seedling Performance in Two Andean Species

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Oreocallis grandiflora was highly drought‐sensitive, whereas Salvia corrugata recovered and showed adaptive traits. Provenance effects were strong in O. grandiflora but weak in S. corrugata. These results reveal species‐ and provenance‐dependent responses to water limitation, highlighting the importance of selecting suitable species and seed sources ...
