Bromelia antiacantha Bertol. is a native species of Brazil with food, medicinal, industrial and forest restoration potential. The objective of this study was to test different substrates and temperatures in the germination and seedling formation of B. antiacantha. Seeds obtained from fruits collected in situ from three localities, one in Paverama/RS and two in Taquari/RS, were washed in running water and homogenized in a single batch. After drying, the seeds were disinfested and seeded in medium sand and germibox paper, and exposed to constant temperatures of 25 and 30ºC. Firstly, the water content of the seeds were determined and, after installation of the experiment, the percentage of germination (G) and seedlings formed (SF), germination mean time (MTG) and seedling formation mean time (MTS), germination rate index (GRI) and seedling formation rate index (SRI) were calculated. The experimental design was completely randomized, in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement with 4 replicates of 50 seeds. The water content and the weight of one thousand seeds corresponded to 17.02% and 27.09 g, respectively. The paper was superior to sand, with an average of 87% of germinated seeds, as well as a percentage of 86.25% of normal seedlings formed. Regarding the temperature, at 25 ºC, the seeds showed lower MTG and MTS and higher GRI and SRI. B. antiacantha seeds showed superior germination and initial seedling formation when sown on paper substrates and at 25 °C.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
