Effect ofTemperature and Light on Ex Situ Germination of Flemingia faginea (Guill. &Perr.) Baker Seeds in BurkinaFaso
Raymond Nana, Hugues Roméo Bazié, Assan Gnoumou, Pale Mini Dah, Martin Sawadogo, and Gerard Zombré
Flemingia faginea is a woody species whose various parts are widely used in traditional medicine. However, this species, which typically grows along waterways, is becoming increasingly rare due to poor seed germination in the wild, possibly resulting from the effects of climate change and human activities. Given the increasing rarity of F. fag(...)
