A preliminary study of the germination and some ecological aspects of Calamus peregrinus in Thailand

Vongkaluang I., . (1985) A preliminary study of the germination and some ecological aspects of Calamus peregrinus in Thailand. [Proceedings Paper]

The germination characteristics of seeds of Calamus peregrinus was found to be superior to that recorded elsewhere for seeds of many other species of rattan. Experiments showed that a greater percentage of seeds with the sarcotesta removed germinated compared with those having the sarcotesta intact. The time required for germination was also shorter for seeds without sarcotesta. Moisture content directly affected the rate of germination; germination was higher for seeds placed in saturated chambers than those sown in the nursery.

Abstract

The germination characteristics of seeds of Calamus peregrinus was found to be superior to that recorded elsewhere for seeds of many other species of rattan. Experiments showed that a greater percentage of seeds with the sarcotesta removed germinated compared with those having the sarcotesta intact. The time required for germination was also shorter for seeds without sarcotesta. Moisture content directly affected the rate of germination; germination was higher for seeds placed in saturated chambers than those sown in the nursery.
