abstract

this study was conducted to quantify germination response of annual savory (satureja hortensis l.) to temperature and water potential. for this purpose, seeds were exposed to different temperature (12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 37 and 40°c) and water potential (zero, -0.1, -0.3, -0.5 and -0.7 mpa) treatments in seed research lab., gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources in 2013. results indicated that temperature and water potential and interacted effects had significant effect on maximum germination percentage, germination rate (reciprocal time to 50 percent germination), and time to 10, 50 and 90 percent germination. along with water potential decrement, both germination percentage and rate decreased. with temperature increasing to optimum temperature, both germination percentage and rate increased, while it decreased from optimum temperature onward. assessment of three nonlinear regression models including segmented, dent-like and beta models revealed that the last one was selected as the superior model. based on the superior model (beta), base, optimum and ceiling temperatures were estimated as 7.56, 23.98 and 40°c, respectively. biological hours for control treatment (zero potential water) was calculated as 91.17 hours. cardinal temperatures were not affected by water potential, but biological hours for germination was delayed as 17.64 hours per each unit water potential increment.

Comparison of time to the event and nonlinear regression models in the analysis of germination data

Extended abstract   Introduction: Numerous studies are being carried out to reveal the effects of different treatments on the germination of seeds from various plants. The most commonly used method of analysis is the nonlinear regression which estimates germination parameters. Although the nonlinear regression has been performed based on different models, some serious problems in its structure...

Predicting germination response to temperature. I. Cardinal-temperature models and subpopulation-specific regression.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The purpose of this study was to compare the relative accuracy of different thermal-germination models in predicting germination-time under constant-temperature conditions. Of specific interest was the assessment of shape assumptions associated with the cardinal-temperature germination model and probit distribution often used to distribute thermal coefficients among seed sub...
