“…Another critical point for seedling production and plant establishment is knowledge of seedling morphology during ontogenesis, which is of great importance for regeneration of ecosystems under natural conditions (Scatena, Segerin, & Coan, 2006;Pinheiro, Medeiros, Hilst, Pinheiro, & Dias, 2020), as well as to elucidate taxonomic and phylogenetic aspects. There are few records available in the literature about the seed germination and seed morphology in different phases of post-seminal development of Bromeliaceae species (Scatena et al, 2006;Rios, Araújo Neto, Ferreira, & Neves, 2016;Paulo & Paula 2018;Silva et al, 2021).…”
