A.  aThe growth of the young coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) - I - The role of the seed and of photosynthesis in seedling growth up to 17 months of age.  c1968  aThe growth of coconut seedlings and the changes occurring within the seed were studied over a period of 17 months from the germination of the coconuts.                                                           Removal of the husk prior to germination made possible an estimate of the  endosperm content of each seed and also permited the exact date of germination to be observed. Seedlings were grown with non-limiting supply of  water and nutrients; 63 seedlings were harvested on each of 10 ocasions to enable a growth analysis to be made.  aCocos Nucifera  aFotossíntese  aCoconut  aCoqueiro  aGrowth  aSementes  tAustralian Journal of Agricultural Researchgv.19, p.781-789, 1968.
