RESUMEN
Serjania communis Cambess. (Sapindaceae) is a plant with climbing habit and occurs relatively often in Paraná State, Brazil. The fruits were collected at the 'Parque dos Pioneiros' a remnant of subtropical forest in Maringá, Paraná State, Brazil. The seedlings obtained in the greenhouse were described according to traditional techniques in plant morphology. Seedlings were embedded in historesin and sectioned in rotation microtome. The fruit is the samaroid type, the seeds have about 3 mm in length and brown color. Seedlings are epigeal phanerocotylar. The seedlings have a hairy hypocotyl, foliaceous cotyledons, reduced epicotyl, and two opposite eophylls. The root is diarch, the hypocotyl shows root-stem transition structure, stem epicotyl, and dorsiventral and hypostomatous cotyledons and eophylls. 'Tirodendros' with 45 days of age do not develop cambial variant.
Serjania communis Cambess. (Sapindaceae) é uma planta de hábito lianescente e ocorre com relativa frequência no Estado do Paraná, Brasil. A coleta dos frutos para a obtenção de sementes foi realizada no parque florestal dos Pioneiros (bosque II), um remanescente de floresta subtropical de Maringá, Estado do Paraná, Brasil. As plântulas, obtidas em casa de vegetação foram descritas conforme técnicas usuais em morfologia vegetal. Após a germinação, as plântulas foram descritas morfoanatomicamente e também foi verificada se ocorria a instalação de variante cambial nesta fase inicial de desenvolvimento. O fruto é do tipo samaroide. As sementes têm cerca de 3 mm de comprimento, de cor marrom e com germinação epigeia e as plântulas são fanerocotiledonares. As plântulas foram emblocadas em historresina e secionadas em micrótomo de rotação. As plântulas apresentam o hipocótilo piloso, cotilédones foliáceos, o epicótilo é reduzido, os dois primeiros eofilos são opostos e os demais eofilos apresentam filotaxia alterna helicoidal. A raiz é diarca. O hipocótilo é uma região de transição raiz-caule. O epicótilo tem estrutura caulinar eustélica. Os cotilédones e os eofilos são hipostomáticos e dorsiventrais. Tirodendros com 45 dias de idade não desenvolvem variante cambial.

Chamaesyce prostrata (Aiton) Small, Euphorbia heterophylla L. and Euphorbia graminea Jacq. are weedy species that occur with relative frequency in the region of Maringá, Paraná State, Brazil. Data about the morphology and anatomy of seedlings of these species were obtained, with emphasis on significant structural differences of seedlings between species of Euphorbia and Chamaesyce. Seedlings are phanerocotylar and epigeal. Root is axial and triarch. Cotyledons are leaf-like and dorsiventral. Eophylls and prophylls are simple and dorsiventral. Morphological variations occur in the cotyledon shape of Euphorbia seedlings. It is remarkable the Kranz structure of leaves that occurs only in Chamaesyce.
Chamaesyce prostrata (Aiton) Small, Euphorbia heterophylla L. e E. graminea Jacq. (Euphorbiaceae) são espécies invasoras frequentes na região de Maringá, Paraná. Foram obtidos dados sobre a morfologia e anatomia das plântulas dessas espécies, com ênfase se há caracteres estruturais significativos das plântulas entre as espécies de Euphorbia e Chamaesyce. As plântulas são fanerocotiledonares e epígeas. A raiz é axial e triarca. Os cotilédones são foliáceos e dorsiventrais. Os eofilos e profilos são folhas simples e dorsiventrais. As variações mofológicas ocorrem no formato dos cotilédones das plântulas de Euphorbia. Sob o aspecto anatômico é especialmente notável a estrutura Kranz das folhas que ocorrem somente em Chamaesyce.

Dormancy-breaking and seed germination studies in genus Lilium reveal that the majority of Lilium spp. studied have an underdeveloped embryo at maturity, which grows inside the seed before the radicle emerges. Additionally, the embryo, radicle or cotyledon has a physiological component of dormancy; thus, Lilium seeds have morphophysiological dormancy (MPD). A previous study suggested that seeds of Lilium polyphyllum have MPD but the study did not investigate the development of the embryo, which is one of the main criteria to determine MPD in seeds. To test this hypothesis, we investigated embryo growth and emergence of radicles and epicotyls in seeds over a range of temperatures. At maturity, seeds had underdeveloped embryos which developed fully at warm temperature within 6 weeks. Immediately after embryo growth, radicles also emerged at warm temperatures. However, epicotyls failed to emerge soon after radicle emergence. Epicotyls emerged from >90% seeds with an emerged radicle only after they were subjected to 2 weeks of cold moist stratification. The overall temperature requirements for dormancy-breaking and seed germination indicate a non-deep simple epicotyl MPD in L. polyphyllum.
