Factores que afectan la germinación del cacao

Cold killed (3 grades centigrades) cacao seeds were soaked in metabolites such as vitamins, amino acids, nucleic acid derivatives, etc., to see if the damage could be overcome, but no treatment was successful. Hypocotyl length and survival of cacao seeds grown in solutions of heavy metals, cyanide,...

Summary:Cold killed (3 grades centigrades) cacao seeds were soaked in metabolites such as vitamins, amino acids, nucleic acid derivatives, etc., to see if the damage could be overcome, but no treatment was successful. Hypocotyl length and survival of cacao seeds grown in solutions of heavy metals, cyanide, azide, DNP, oxalic, or malonic acid, suggest that the cytochrome oxidase system is not the most sensitive. Sulfhydryl enzymes are important for growth, but there seems to be no relation between reduced growth and the percentage survival.
