The characteristics of pods and seeds of liana species Derris trifoliata and their relationship with environmental factors in Guangdong, China

Derris trifoliata, a native plant associated with mangroves, has caused the death of mangrove species in recent years. To explore the pod and seed characteristics in different populations of D. trifoliata, three geographical locations were selected—the cities of Yangjiang (Y), Zhanjiang (Z), and Zhu...
