Effect of light and temperature on seed germination in guava (Psidium guajava L. - Myrtaceae)
Page 759-764
The germination of seeds of Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae) is controlled by phytochrome. Guava seeds
can germinate with at least one hour per day of irradiation of high red:far-red ratio light preceeded or
followed by shade light, indicating that phytochrome B controls germination in these conditions. Under
alternating temperatures, in a range of at least 5 C, seeds will germinate in darkness, suggesting that in
gaps of the canopy, when seeds are covered by a thin layer of soil they will germinate once the alternating
temperatures are experienced. Under these conditions phytochrome A is responsible for the control of
guava seed germination.
