Abstract
Nine categories (a-i) of seeds inIpomoea pes-tigridis showed diverse germination responses at desiccating high temperatures (65 °C). These nine "generative ecotypes" have assured the persistance of their race by producing sets of seeds suitable for a set of temperature conditions in the Indian desert, where high desiccation of seeds is a major natural controlling factor.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
