Abstract

An effort has been made to arzalyse the probable causes of a low germination of Atropa species. From the results achieved it is expected that the very hard, thick, woody and waxy nature of testa along with an internal membrane enclosing the embryo and the presence .of seeds containing only a rudimentary embryo may be the va/ious factors responsible for poor and erratic gernlination of Atropa species.
