Dormancy of safflower seeds: effect of storage and cold stratification [PDF]
Abstract: Safflower seeds exhibit dormancy soon after dispersion from the mother plant, making it impossible to sow newly harvested seeds. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate breaking the dormancy of safflower seeds during storage associated with the use of different periods of cold stratification.

IMPACT OF ACID SCARIFICATION AND COLD MIST STRATIFICATION ON ENHANCING SEED GERMINATION AND SEEDLING EARLY GROWTH OF Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. [PDF]
The thick, hard and water-impermeable seed coat cause physical dormancy and low germination rate in Albizia lebbeck (L.), to overcome this physical dormancy, seeds were pretreated with concentrated HCl and cold mist condition.

Cold stratification was reported to release seed dormancy and enhance plant tolerance to salt stress. Experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that cold stratification and cold stratification in salinity could enhance seedling growth of wheat under salt treatment. The results clearly demonstrated that cold stratification significantly improved

Comparing Non-Thermal Plasma and Cold Stratification: Which Pre-Sowing Treatment Benefits Wild Plant Emergence? [PDF]
Meadow restoration and creation projects have faced a lack of local seed diversity due to the limited availability of seed sources. Non-thermal plasma technologies are being developed for agriculture and do not cause damage to heat-sensitive biological ...

Changes in oxidative patterns during dormancy break by warm and cold stratification in seeds of an edible fruit tree. [PDF]
The transition from seed dormancy to germination is triggered by environmental factors, and in pomegranate (Punica granatum) seeds higher germination percentages are achieved by warm + cold stratification rather than by cold stratification alone.

Influence of Some Physicochemical Treatments to Stimulate Seed Germination of Agrimonia eupatoria L. and Clinopodium vulgare L. [PDF]
Dormancy is an inherent limitation on germination that happens across in the life cycle of a plant. The particular goals of this research were to survey the effects of various treatments for improving seed germination of Agrimonia eupatoria and ...
