Water shortage is one of the most important factors affecting the growth, development, and survival of plants, with numerous effects on metabolic processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of water stress on germination and initial development of Handroanthus chrysotrichus (Mart. ex DC.) Mattos. Two experiments were performed using different concentrations of polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) at different osmotic potentials to induce water stress. On experiment 1, the following solutions were used: -0.1; -0.2; -0.4; -0.8 and -1.0 MPa, and on experiment 2: -0.05; -0.1; -0.15; -0.2 MPa and distilled water as control treatment (0.0 MPa). After ten days, the first count (%), length (cm) and dry mass (mg) of the root and shoot were checked, and on the 14th day, the germination percentage was determined. It was found that H. chrysotrichus can withstand water potentials between -0.05 and -0.2 MPa for the evaluated parameters, and at more negative water potentials from -0.4 to -1.0 MPa, the physiological processes of seed germination and initial development were inhibited. Water potentials between -0.05 and -2.0 MPa led to a reduction in the percentage of germination, the length of both vegetative structures, and the dry mass of the shoot, showing that this species is sensitive to water shortage and that it may have strategies to tolerate a lack of water in the environments where it is distributed.

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.
