Abstract: Current work relates to the primary dispersal of Cytisus multiflorus seeds: seed production, dispersal mechanisms, distribution of seed after dissemination and dormancy were investigated. The distribution of seed was recorded before collection; seed viabilaty and dormancy were assessed. The results indicate that the dispersion is assisted by an explosive dehiscence of the seed pod in that only 35% of the seed drop directly beneath the plant, the remainder falling further away, some reaching distances greater t… Show more

“…Cytisus scoparius and Genista florida are two Mediterranean species well adapted to stressful environments [7,40]. Both species actively colonize coal mines in Northern Spain [20,41], probably because of their ballistic dispersion mode, i.e., explosive dehiscence [42,43], and being long-distance dispersed by a wide range of wild herbivores, e.g., ants [44], birds [42]; mammals [45]; livestock [46]. Genista florida showed also vegetative reproduction in the study area [47], which has been considered the most successful means of colonization in reclaimed mines of Germany [48] and the USA [3].…”
