Evaluation of the effects of drought stress of mother plants on some seed germination indices of Satureja hortensis [PDF]
Seed germination indices can be affected by drought stress in ripening stage of seeds on mother plant. In this study, four water stress treatments (100, 75, 50 and 25% of field capacity (FC)) were imposed during seed maturation of Satureja hortensis ...

The Bacillus cereus GerN and GerT protein homologs have distinct roles in spore germination and outgrowth, respectively [PDF]
The GerT protein of Bacillus cereus shares 74% amino acid identity with its homolog GerN. The latter is a Na+/H+-K+ 19 antiporter that is required for normal spore germination in inosine.

Post harvest maturation of the selected spring barley varieties in 2011.
There were considerable differences amoug all 2011 varieties studied, three weeks after achieving full maturity. Values of germination energy varied from 69-93 %. Post-harvest maturation was the slowest in the varieties Aksamit and Radegast.
