SEPULVEDA-NIETO, MARÍA DEL PILAR; MORALES-TRUJILLO, ÁNGELA MARÍA e KATINAS, LILIANA. Viviparidad en Goeppertia Inocephala (Marantaceae). Bol. Soc. Argent. Bot. [online]. 2018, vol.53, n.2, pp.1-10. ISSN 1851-2372.
Vivipary in Goeppertia inocephala (Marantaceae).Viviparous germination is a phenomenon known only for 0.1% of the total species, being less frequent in monocots. In the Marantaceae family it had only been mentioned for a single species, Marantochloa congensis. This work presents the frst record of plants originated from viviparous seeds of Goeppertia inocephala (Marantaceae) found in the understory of a mixed forest of the Andean region of the department of Quindío, Colombia. The vivipary of this species is discussed in the context of the mechanisms of adaptation to the current environmental conditions and pre-conditioning of paleotropical ancestors.
