چکیده مقاله:

Methods of seed germination and suitable substrates for seedling growth of gurguéia nut (Dipteryx lacunifera) were studied in the present work. The following methods of seed germination i.e. I and II) Room temperature water soak for 24 and 48 hours; III, IV, V and VI) hot water soak, for 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes, respectively; and VII) mechanical scarification, were studied. The studied substrates were: S1) red Oxisol:sand:bovine manure (1:1:1); S2) red Oxisol:sand:goat manure (1:1:1); S3) red Oxisol:decomposed buriti stem:bovine manure (1:1:1); S4) red Oxisol:decomposed buriti stem:goat manure (1:1:1); and S5) washed sand. No seed germination was recorded for methods IV, V and VI, whereas for the other methods, values ranged from 70% to 85%, with the highest average being registered for room temperature water soak for 24 hours. Excluding S3, emergence parameters were better as S1 shifted to S5 with the latter one was found to be best. Substrate affects seedling formation of gurguéia nut, indicating that washed sand may be used in this process.

Optimizing Seed Germination and Growth of Seedlings in Persian Walnut

The efficiency of conventional stratification methods for seed germination of walnut (Juglans regia L.), which uses long moist-chilling periods, is low. This experiment was conducted during winter to spring 2014 to optimize the seed germination of walnut ‘Chandler’ via changing growing media and removing seed mechanical dormancy. Fourteen treatments were tested. None of the seeds germi...

WRI1 is required for seed germination and seedling establishment.

Storage compound accumulation during seed development prepares the next generation of plants for survival. Therefore, processes involved in the regulation and synthesis of storage compound accumulation during seed development bear relevance to germination and seedling establishment. The wrinkled1 (wri1) mutant of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) is impaired in seed oil accumulation. The WRI1 ...

Seedling Germination: Seedlings Follow Sunshine and Fresh Air

The journey from seedling to plant requires guidance in the dark to establish which directions the roots and shoots should grow. A new study shows that, after germinating in darkness, plant seedlings sense the oxygen content of the surrounding airspace to guide further development.
