the dormancy characteristics and optimum conditions for seed germination of alstroemeria ligtu had not been explained. in vitro and in vivo alstroemeria (a. ligtu hybrid) seed germination tests were conducted in a randomized completely design at two different treatments (gibberellic acid (ga3) 0, 100, 200 and 400 mg/l with and without stratification in 5±1oc) in four replications. seeds were pl...

almonds belong to prunus genus, which is related to rosaceae family. it has close relatives with different species of stoned fruits. one of the main reasons for the long period of seed germination in prunus is compound dormancy, such as the external seed cover as physical dormancy and embryo dormancy causes physiological dormancy. seed stratification and treatments with various hormones are use...

in order to evaluate the response of russian knapweed seeds to cardinal temperatures a factorial experiment was conducted base on completely randomized design with 3 replications. russian knapweed seeds (collected from irrigated and rainfed wheat fields), and germination temperatures (constant temperatures of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35° c) were used as first and second levels of the experiment. ...

The physiological process of germination depends on several environmental factors such as temperature, water potential, light, nutrients and smoke. Water and temperature are determinant factors for seed germination. Both factors can, separately or jointly, affect the germination percentage and germination rate. The effect of temperature on germination and water potential on germination canoften...

determination of cardinal temperatures during seed germination and emergence as well as the thermal time requirement for each stage is essential in crop management and modeling of plant growth and development. two experiments were conducted to predict cardinal temperatures and thermal time requirement for germination and emergence of chickpea genotypes. in the first experiment, seed germination...

Common burnet (Poterium sanguisorba) is a perennial herb from rose family (Rosaceae) which is used to construct pastures. The studied plant can resist against freezing, cool and drought. The present study was conducted to study the seed germination parameters of common burnet in different thermal treatments as completely randomized design in 4 replications in 2013. Treatments involved the effec...

Effects of temperature, storage time and their combination on germination of aspen (Populus tomentosa) seeds were investigated. Aspen seeds were germinated at 5 to 30°C at 5°C intervals after storage for a period of time under 28°C and 75% relative humidity. The effect of temperature on aspen seed germination could not be effectively described by the thermal time (TT) model, which underestimate...
