Pluchea ovalis (Pers.) DC. is an invasive alien plant species. It has spread widely on the island of Tenerife since it was first introduced, becoming a major threat to the island’s flora. The aims of this study are to analyze its germination capacity under different environmental conditions (e.g., light and temperature) and determine its effects on...

... germination rate and percentage, the germination index (GI) reached its highest value for both the 12 h-12 h and 24 h photoperiods in the 24-31 • C temperature range. Finally, the time spread of germination (TSG) was longer in the 10-17 • C temperature range under the 12 h-12 h photoperiod (14 days) and in the 17-24 • C temperature range under the 24 h photoperiod (12 days) ( Table 1). ...
