Resumen

ARTEAGA, Luis L. Vismia glaziovii Ruhl. (Guttiferae) seed size and its relationship with the germination speed and seedling size. Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2007, vol.14, n.1, pp.17-20. ISSN 1727-9933.

In the present work I analyzed the variability of the seeds size of Vismia glaziovii Ruhl. and its possible effect on germination speed and its seedling size. The results show that the size of the seeds does not vary significantly between trees from which they came; but the variation as large as seed between the fruits of each tree is significant. Also, the size of the seed does not influence the speed of germination nor the seedling size. We suggested that variability in size is not sufficient as indicator of differences in the amount of stored resource. This study will allow contributing to the knowledge of some aspects of the dynamics of seeds and the regeneration of this species.
