Vegetative propagation of imbuya (Ocotea porosa) and the germination process of its seeds is slow, justifying tetrazolium test, that is faster for verifying viability of seeds. Seeds of Colombo (PR) native trees were collected and treated with 0.1 %, 0.3 % and 0.5 % tetrazolium solutions for one and two hours, presenting percentual variation associated with the different treatments. No statistical significant...
Imbuya (Ocotea porosa Nees et Martius ex. Nees, Lauraceae) is a species under extinction of the Mixed Ombrophylous Forest, whose wood owns high economic value. The objective of this work was to discuss precocious individual genetic selection utilizying Selegen REML/BLUP software in germoplasm of Colombo, PR, Canoinhas and Caçador, SC, populations. Results showed that 1182 selected genotypes (42,9 %) were from C...
