Abstract
【Summary】 Fresh seeds of Neolitsea acuminatissima germinated slowly at 30/20℃ in light (with a 12-h daily photoperiod) and required > 20 wk to complete germination. Seeds cold-stratified at 4℃ for 9 mo or for 1 yr not only retained their original viability, but the germination rate significantly increased. Fresh seeds have a fully-developed embryo and a water-permeable seed coat and endocarp, and they require > 4 wk to germinate in a warm temperature regime. Thus, we concluded that
期刊介绍:
The Taiwan Journal of Forest Science is an academic publication that welcomes contributions from around the world. The journal covers all aspects of forest research, both basic and applied, including Forest Biology and Ecology (tree breeding, silviculture, soils, etc.), Forest Management (watershed management, forest pests and diseases, forest fire, wildlife, recreation, etc.), Biotechnology, and Wood Science. Manuscripts acceptable to the journal include (1) research papers, (2) research notes, (3) review articles, and (4) monographs. A research note differs from a research paper in its scope which is less-comprehensive, yet it contains important information. In other words, a research note offers an innovative perspective or new discovery which is worthy of early disclosure.
