Vargas-Luna M. D., Lazo-Anchondo G., De La Torre S., Aristizábal J. F., Figueroa C., Effect of preconditioning treatments and seed storage time on Homalocephala parryi (Cactaceae) germination in greenhouse conditions, Acta Botanica Mexicana, 2026, 133:e2529, doi: 10.21829/abm133.2026.2529
A greenhouse experiment with seeds from one Homalocephala parryi population in Chihuahua. Two lots with different storage durations, soaking and pretreatment at 5°C were compared. The highest germination was obtained after chilling seeds stored for a year. The paper also describes fruits, seed structure and development of the seedling's first areoles. The lots came from different collection years.
