Phytochrome and temperature control of seed germination in Muntingia calabura L. (Elaeocarpaceae)
The temperature range of germination of seeds of Muntingia calabura L. was 15-35° C and the optimum temperature at 35° C where more seeds germinated at short period. The fluence response curves demonstrated the involvement of phytochrome in the control of germination through the low fluence response...
