assess germination and seedlings emergence, and four plants per sampling, every 10 days, for 110 days to evaluate growth and biomass of the plant structures. The plants were grown, in 500 mL containers, in peat moss, in a greenhouse, from July to September 2018. The mean seed biomass ranged between 0.0027 and 0.0091 g. Between 10 and 70% of seeds did not germinate depending on the seed size and the collection site. After 110 days after sowing plants originated from large seeds were higher (up to 35%), produced more flower buds (60%), number of mature capsules (double) and longer roots (27.2%) compared to plants from small seed plants. In contrast, stem diameter (at substrate height) and leave number, width and length were not related to the seed size. Oenothera rosea plants develop and grow vigorously in greenhouse conditions; all plant tissues are available 100 days after plant cultivation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
