Barrios D., Sánchez J. A., González-Torres L. R., Flores J., Álvarez-Espino R., Thermal Effects on Early Life Stages of Leptocereus (Cactaceae) Species from Cuban Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests, Horticulturae, 2025, 11(12):1541, doi: 10.3390/horticulturae11121541
Controlled germination of seeds from 10 Cuban taxa under source names, in light and darkness, at constant and daily alternating temperatures. Demonstrates reduced germination in heat, recovery after cooling and viability differences. Results for L. maxonii, L. santamarinae and L. sylvestris remain separated as source populations of current L. sylvestris. Projections concern 2070.
