Acid Scarification Completes the Germination of Hovenia dulcis Seeds

Seeds have been reported to a combination of physical and physiological dormancy. However, this study revealed that H. dulcis seeds only The water absorption the after different periods sulfuric acid scarification was measured, gap through which absorbed treatment specified. Cold stratification gibberellic were performed determine whether had could absorb completely when scarified for more than 60 min, hilar fissure near micropyle, indicating there no synergistic effect on final seed germination percentage cold or treatments, delayed under temperature conditions. Thus, it concluded dormancy but This not clarifies kind in also provides method expedite without long period 2 3 months.
