Fig. 2From: RETRACTED ARTICLE: The role of seed appendage in improving the adaptation of a species in definite seasons: a case study of Atriplex centralasiaticaEffects of the diaspore type, bracteole and temperature on the germination (mean ± SE) of fresh and dormancy-break polymorphic diaspores and seeds of Atriplex centralasiatica. The left column represents germination of fresh, mature diaspores and seeds of type A (a), type B (c), and type C (e). The right column represents germination of dormancy-break diaspores or seeds of type A (b), type B (d), and type C (f). Diaspore, bracteoles attached to seeds; seed + bract, bracteoles removed from seeds but placed in the Petri dish with their seeds; seed, bracteoles removed from seedsBack to article page
