Article Synopsis
- Astringent seeds from Chinese fir are recognized as abortive seeds, with unclear causes, prompting a study on their potential to reduce aluminum ion toxicity.
- The study treated seeds and seedlings with low and high concentrations of astringent seed water extracts under aluminum stress, finding that low concentration extract significantly improved seed germination and seedling growth.
- Results showed a 36.95% increase in root elongation and reduced aluminum accumulation at root tips, while high concentrations failed to provide similar benefits, suggesting a potential environmental advantage for seeds in proximity to astringent seeds.
