Mechanical Constraints in the Endosperm and Endocarp are Major Causes of Dormancy in Sinojackia xylocarpa Hu (Styracaceae) Seeds
Sinojackia xylocarpa Hu, a member of the first new genus described and published by the Chinese botanist Hu, is an endangered plant endemic to China. We analysed mechanisms of seed dormancy in S. xylocarpa at the...
