Differential Effects of Increasing Salinity on Germination and Seedling Growth of Native and Exotic Invasive Cordgrasses [PDF]
Soil salinity is a key environmental factor influencing germination and seedling establishment in salt marshes. Global warming and sea level rise are changing estuarine salinity, and may modify the colonization ability of halophytes.

Effects of Storage Humidity and Germination Temperature on Germination Percentage of Brassica Seeds
The present study was conducted to examine the effects of storage humidity and germination temperature on the dormancy and viability of Brassica seeds. Three species of Brassica, i. e., B. japonica. B. cernua and B. napus, were used. Imnlediately after harvest, seeds were stored in five air-tight vessels in each of which relative humidity (RH) of air ...

Variation in seed germination of 134 common species on the eastern Tibetan Plateau: phylogenetic, life history and environmental correlates. [PDF]
Seed germination is a crucial stage in the life history of a species because it represents the pathway from adult to offspring, and it can affect the distribution and abundance of species in communities.

Effect of cold stratification on seed germination in Solidago × niederederi (Asteraceae) and its parental species [PDF]
In this study, we investigated the influence of cold stratification on seed germination in S. × niederederi, a hybrid between the North American S. canadensis and the European S. virgaurea, using fruit samples collected in 2016 in Poland.

Germination Percentage and Germination Speed of European Larch (Larix decidua Mill.) Seed After Prolonged Storage [PDF]
Abstract Thirty European larch seedlots stored in plastic, screw-capped containers at 4°C for 3 to 24 yr were tested for their viability. The average germination percentage was 26.7% per seedlot. Fifty percent of all germinating seeds germinated by the 20th day after sowing and 90% had germinated by the 26th day.

INCREASING SEED GERMINATION PERCENTAGE OF CRATAEGUS OPACA (MAYHAW) BY FERMENTATION [PDF]
Fermentation and other seed pregermination treatments of Mayhaw [Crataegus opaca (1.) Hook and Arn-Series Aestivales] (Vines,; Phipps, 1988) were evaluated as potential requirements to increase germination percentages. Low seed germinability and arratic seedling emergence are major problems in Crataegus breeding.
