Germination of Corylopsis seeds evaluated by X-ray imaging and cold stratification [PDF]
Effects of immersing seeds in water and X-ray imagining on germination of Corylopsis seed were investigated. Seeds that sank or floated were collected after immersing in water for 5 min, 4 h or 16 h, and germinated with or without 5°C cold stratification (CS). In C. coreana and C. sinensis var.

Acid Scarification Completes the Germination of Hovenia dulcis Seeds
Seeds have been reported to have a combination of physical and physiological dormancy. However, this study revealed that H. dulcis seeds only have physical dormancy. The water absorption of the seeds after different periods of sulfuric acid scarification
