Relationship between seed moisture content and acquisition of impermeability in Nelumbo nucifera (Nelumbonaceae)
ABSTRACT Seeds of Nelumbo nucifera do not imbibe water, and thus have physical dormancy (PY). However, a proportion of seeds are permeable to water, and so we hypothesized that variation in moisture content is a reason for the development of both permeable and impermeable seeds. The permeable propor...
