“…Despite the relevance of this genus, the seed physiological behaviour under desiccation is not completely understood. What seems to be a consensus is that Eugenia seeds are somewhat DS (Delgado and Barbedo, 2007, Amorim et al, 2020, Rodrigues et al, 2022). There are no reports of Eugenia DT‐seeded species to date, but the DS degree varies between Eugenia species and even among distinct populations, seemingly to be affected by seed provenance (Lamarca et al, 2011 and 2013, Pereira et al, 2017, Rodrigues et al, 2022).…”
