Germination pretreatments to break hard-seed dormancy in Astragalus cicer L. (Fabaceae)
Conservationists often propagate rare species to improve their long-term population viability. However, seed dormancy can make propagation efforts challenging by substantially lowering seed germination. Here I statistically compare several pretreatment options for seeds of Astragalus cicer L.: unscarified controls and scarification via physical damage, hot water, acid, and hydrogen peroxide. Al...
متن کاملSeed dormancy and germination.
Seed dormancy and germination are complex adaptive traits of higher plants that are influenced by a large number of genes and environmental factors. Studies of genetics and physiology have shown the important roles of the plant hormones abscisic acid and gibberellin in the regulation of dormancy and germination. More recently, the use of quantitative genetics and mutant approaches has allowed t...
متن کاملSeed Germination and Dormancy.
Seeds are a vital component of the world’s diet. Cereal grains alone, which comprise -90% of all cultivated seeds, contribute up to half of the global per capita energy intake. Not surprisingly then, seed biology is one of the most extensively researched areas in plant physiology. Even in relation to the topics reviewed here, a casual perusal of the Agricola database reveals that well over 5000...

متن کاملDormancy and Seed Germination in Tamarindus indica (L)
The dormancy and seed germination of Tamarindus indica (L) was studied. This involved the usage of some dormancy-releasing methods and the influence of oven dry heat treatments on the seeds. The preliminary germination tests on fresh and air-dried seeds showed low percentage germinability (10-20%). The seeds are known to have high socio-economic value most especially in the savanna regions of t...
