description |
The aim of this research was to examine the influence of acorn size on
morphological characteristics of one-year-old Northern red oak (Quercus rubra
L.) seedlings. The quality of seedlings correlates with the quality of the
seed they are derived from. In species with large seeds, as in the case of
Northern red oak, the seedling growth in the first growing season is closely
related to seed size or the amount of reserve nutrients that are stored in
the seed. The height and root collar diameter of one-year-old Northern red
oak seedlings increases with increase in acorn size. The results obtained in
this research can be used as a guideline for acorn grading, because they show
that improved Northern red oak seedlings quality can be achieved using seeds
of appropriate size. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. TR
