Temperature effects on soybean imbibition and leakage.
As a part of an analysis of the nature of chilling injury to seeds, measurements were made of the initial linear rates of water entry into and solute leakage out of cotyledons of soybean at various temperatures. Arrhenius plots were approximately linear for water entry into both living and dead cotyledons, with the slope (and activation energy) for entry into living cells being insignificantly ...
متن کاملEffects of dispersal, shrubs, and density- dependent mortality on seed and seedling distributions in temperate forests
Processes limiting recruitment of trees may have large impacts on forest dynamics. In this paper, we determined the effects of dispersal, shrubs (Rhododendron maximum), and density-dependent mortality on seed and seedling distributions of Southern Appalachian trees. We quantified the spatial distribution of seed rain, seed bank densities, first-year seedlings, and older than first-year seedling...
متن کاملSeedling emergence response to temperature in safflower: measurements and modeling
Quantitative information about the response of seedling emergence totemperature for safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is rare. The main objective ofthe present study was to develop a model for predicting days to emergence forsafflower as influenced by the temperature. In this regard, a field experiment with arange of sowing dates and four safflower cultivars were conducted to describe theresp...
متن کاملEvolutionary and ecological correlates of early seedling morphology in East African trees and shrubs.
Seed size and cotyledon morphology are two key juvenile traits that have evolved in response to changes in plant species life-history strategies and habitat associations. Correlations of these traits with each other and with other juvenile traits were examined for 70 species of trees and shrubs in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Although species with photosynthetic cotyledons were more abundant t...
متن کاملInvestigation of Chilling Effects on Characteristics of Seed Germination, Vigor and Seedling Growth of Nepeta spp. Species
To study the effects of chilling on dormancy breaking and the increased germination characteristics of Nepeta (germination percent and speed, seedling length, vigor index, wet and dry weight), a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with 4 replications was implemented in a laboratory in 2014. Factor A was the chilling treatment in three levels (control, one-month and two-month ...
