In many species large seeds are observed to
germinate better compared with medium and small seeds. Also, the
seedlings established by large seeds are reported to thrive better
(Murali, 1997; Negi and Todaria, 1997; Khan and Shankar, 2001;
Mwase and Mvula, 2011). Consideration of seed traits may be a useful
aspect for propagation and conservation of valuable plants (Khurana
and Singh, 2001).
