The future of many tree species is at risk due to the rapid decline of the world's forests, over-
exploitation for timber, seeds, oils, resins, fruits and bark. In addition, seed germination in …

As a contribution to understanding the world biogeography of seed dormancy in the
cosmopolitan genus Ilex, we studied seeds of I. argentina, I. brasiliensis, I. brevicuspis, I …

The conservation of plant genetic diversity aims at preserving as much as possible extant
species by using innovative and complementary approaches to guarantee the effectiveness …

Mature seeds of Ilex species usually contain immature embryos and are extremely difficult to
germinate. Ilex latifolia and I. rotunda, two species that are grown as ornamentals, also …

A germinação de erva-mate tem sido apontada como baixa, irregular e lenta, com diferentes
graus de dormência, tornando a produção de mudas um grande desafio. Estudos …

An in vitro culture protocol was developed that increased the germination percentage and
decreased the lag time to germination for Ilex dumosa R. pyrenes as a tool for replacing the …

Aiming to develop a new stratification protocol for yerba mate seeds, we evaluated how
different combinations of temperature, substrate, and period influence the embryonic …

La yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil.) es una especie de gran importancia social y
cultural en Uruguay, que presentadestacadas propiedades medicinales. Aunque en …

Seeds of Ilex species are individually enclosed by a woody endocarp, forming a dispersal
unit termed a pyrene. Embryos are undeveloped when fruits reach maturity. As a …

The propagation of yerba mate is carried out by seeds. In nature, birds are the main
dispersers and the passage of seeds through the digestive system helps in germination. The …
