Buchanania lanzan Spreng. (Anacardiaceae) is a critically endangered medicinal tree native to the South Eastern Region of India that has been exploited for its seeds due to its high demand as a treatment for diarrhea, diabetes, and other skin conditions. A reliable protocol for overcoming the dormancy of seeds that have been preserved for a year. The seed coat is removed by gently smashing the seeds after they have been surface sterilized with 4% HgCl2 for 10 minutes. Seeds were scarified with a combination of hot and cold water, and then subjected to chemical treatment with varying concentrations of H2SO4 and GA3. Over the course of 28 days, they monitored the germination of 100 seeds planted in greenhouse seed flats every day. The majority of seeds (89%) germinated after being treated with 200ppm GA3, whereas 60% germinated after being treated with 4% H2SO4. Only 56% of seeds grew after being subjected to cold water treatment, whereas only 25% of untreated seeds sprouted. Furthermore, no germination was seen in intact seeds with an impervious seed coat. Positive results indicating reactions to treatments, whereas extended dormancy in undamaged control seeds may be the result of an impervious seed coat.
