The specie Ilex paraguariensis A.St.-Hil., known as yerba mate, is propagated by seeds that have morphophysiological dormancy. This study aimed to answer the following questions: (1) What are the changes that occur in the Ilex paraguariensis embryos during moist stratification? and (2) May the incorporation of chemical fertilizers in moist stratification medium promote an increase in the germination percentage in yerba mate seeds? For this purpose, yerba mate seeds were subjected to two stratification treatments: between two layers of moist sand and between two layers of moist sand with mineral fertilizer plus a control, for 180 days. At intervals of 30 days, seeds were removed for structural anatomical analysis and, at 150 and 180 days, also for germination tests at 25 °C, which were monitored for 180 days. The treatment with the highest germination percentage during stratification (15.4%) and in the germination tests (15.2 and 20.1%) was the one with mineral fertilizer incorporated in the moist stratification medium. Only in this treatment the embryos in more advanced stages of development (torpedo and mature). It is concluded that embryo development and germination were favored by moist stratification medium with the addition of chemical fertilizers.

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.
