Seed germination and ultra structural changes in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) hybrid seed influenced by heat treatments

Seed dormancy in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is considered as one of the major causes for low and erratic germination. Oil palm hybrid seeds (dura × pisifera) were subjected to heat treatment for 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 days in a heating room at 39 + 1ºC and germination resp...
