Effect of cold treatment on germination of Saxifraga aizoides and S. paniculata: a comparison of central (eastern Alps) and southern populations (northern Apennines)
The best duration of cold treatment for germination of Saxifraga aizoides and S. paniculata was investigated comparing seeds collected from Alpine and Apennine populations. For S. aizoides seeds of both provenances, the highest germination was obtained after 12 weeks of cold treatment, and Apennine...
