Histochemical analysis of seed reserve mobilization in Passiflora edulis Sims fo. flavicarpa O. Deg. (yellow passion fruit) during germination Análise histoquímica da mobilização de reservas em sementes de Passiflora edulis Sims fo. flavicarpa O. Deg (maracujá amarelo) durante a germinação
In the present work, we analyzed the histochemical aspects of Passiflora edulis seeds reserve mobilization during the first ten days of germination. Our results showed that mainly lipids present in the endosperm are used as a reserve source, and their levels reduce at the same time the radicle protr...
