Abstract: Kielmeyera coriacea belongs to the family Clusiaceae and is the main cork producing tree
species from the Cerrado Brazilian Biome and has pharmacological activity. The present study
aimed to verify the influence of different temperatures on seed germination associated with
different provenance of Kielmeyera coriacea seeds. It was used a completely randomized design
in a factorial design with four temperatures (20, 25, 30 and 35 'C) and five provenances (P6, P8,
P14, P22, P31) with four replications of 25 seeds. Germination evaluations were shall be made
daily for a period of 15 days. The seeds of different provenances of Kielmeyera coriacea have
different germinating behavior depending on the temperature. The P6 origin presented the best
germination behavior. The temperature of 25 'C was more favorable germination and 35 'C
affect the germination of Kielmeyera coriacea. |
