Variable Germination Response to Temperature for Different Sources of Winterfat Seed

Seed germination response of Haloxylon persicum (Chenopodiaceae) to different hydrothermal conditions and sand burial depths

Daily counts of germinated seeds of white saxaul (Haloxylon persicum) incubated at 35 different hydrothermal environments (10-25?C and 0 to -3 MPa) were carried out under controlled laboratory conditions. The seeds were then buried in sand at 4 different depths in well drained pots constantly moisturized for three weeks. In all these hydrothermal conditions, the courses of germination were comp...

The effect of germination temperature on antioxidant enzymes activities and seed germination of Prangos ferulacea Seeds harvested at different seed moisture content

Prangos ferulacea is a plant from the umbeliferae family that is propagated by seed germination. In order to investigate the effects of seed ripening and germination temperature on germination and some antioxidant enzymes activity of this plant seed, a two-factor factorial experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with three replications in the laboratory of Seed Sciences and...

Phytochrome and Seed Germination: VI. Phytochrome and Temperature Interaction in the Control of Cucumber Seed Germination.

Phytochrome control of cucumber seed germination is temperature-dependent. A prolonged exposure to radiation from broad spectrum far red sources (Pfr/P = 0.05 to 0.07) prevents germination at temperatures below 20 C. Above 20 C there is no inhibition and it appears as if there is an escape from phytochrome control. However, radiation from a monochromatic, narrow band 730 nanometer source (Pfr/P...

Responses of bur parsley turgenia latifolia L. hoffm seed germination to temperature

Effects of different pretreatments on germination of Prunus serotina seed sources.

Establishing intensive plantations of fast growing hardwood tree species that have high market values in the forest industry can narrow the gap between Turkey's demand and the supply of quality hardwood products. Black cherry (P. serotina Ehrh.) is a fast growing hardwood species with a high market value. Introducing and intensively growing black cherry (BC) in Turkey may significantly reduce t...
