Ribosomal RNA integrity and rate of seed germination
Planta, 1980The integrity of ribosomal RNA (the percentage of complete, un-nicked molecules) in seeds was studied by electrophoresis under denaturing conditions. Two batches of carrot seed, harvested at different stages of maturity, and four batches ofNicotiana seed stored for various times were used.

Deep‐learning‐based automatic evaluation of rice seed germination rate
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2022AbstractBACKGROUNDRice is an important food crop plant in the world and is also a model plant for genetics and breeding research. The germination rate is an important indicator that measures the performance of rice seeds. Currently, solutions involving image processing techniques have substantial challenges in the identification of seed germination ...

POLLEN VIABILITY AND GERMINATION RATES OF 45 WATERMELON GENOTYPES
Acta Horticulturae, 2007This study was conducted at the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agricultureof Cukurova University in 2002. Eighty three watermelon accessions,collected from different regions and provided by the Turkish genebank (MenemenAgricultural Research Institute), were used for this study. Watermelon plants weregrown in the research greenhouses of Cukurova

Problems with using mean germination time to calculate rate of seed germination
Australian Journal of Botany, 2015Seed scientists and other plant biologists are interested in the measurement of germination because seeds from different individuals, populations, seed lots and treatments can differ in germination percentages, rate (speed) and uniformity. Mean time to germination (MGT) is a measure of the rate and time-spread of germination; however, there is a ...

Effect of cadmium on germination, amylases and rate of respiration of germinating pea seeds
Environmental Pollution, 1996Growth of embryonic axis of germinating pea seeds (Pisum sativum cv. Bonneville) was significantly inhibited by as low as 0.25 mM cadmium and the elongation of the radicle was affected more severely than that of the plumule. Total amylolytic activity, as well as activities of alpha- and beta-amylases, diminished progressively with increasing ...

Can rodents enhance germination rates in rainforest seeds?
Ecological Management & Restoration, 2012SummaryThe decline of large coevolved frugivorous species within fragmented habitats can have an effect on ecological processes, for example, seed dispersal and germination. It is therefore necessary for more resilient species to ensure essential processes are maintained within the system.

Seed Germination Rate and Associated Characters in Rice
Crop Science, 1989Rapid seed germination will facilitate quick plant stand establishment in direct sown rice (Oryza sativa L.) culture. Sixty‐eight rice cultivars were grown in the field and in the phytotron, and the harvested seed evaluated for germination rate. Cultivars ‘Laxmi’, TNAU(AD)103, IR25924‐92‐1‐3, ‘IR50’, PND160‐2‐1, RNR1429, IR31779‐19‐3‐3‐2‐2, and B3981c ...

A simple method for measuring pollen germination rate using machine learning
Plant Reproduction, 2023The pollen germination rate decreases under various abiotic stresses, such as high-temperature stress, and it is one of the causes of inhibition of plant reproduction. Thus, measuring pollen germination rate is vital for understanding the reproductive ability of plants.

Ecological Modelling, 2011
In fields, the timing of weed emergence flushes is mostly related to the timing and rate of seed germination, which depend on seed dormancy level, soil temperature and water potential conditions as well as soil tillage and crop sowing date. Seed germination parameters are essential in weed dynamics models to account for the effects of soil conditions ...

Improving germination rate of soybeans as a biofuel resource
2008 IEEE 35th International Conference on Plasma Science, 2008Summary form only given. Improvements in plant quality, root strength and seed germination through different means has been the subject of research for many. For example, low intensity and extreme low frequency magnetic field on sunflower and wheat seeds germination have produced positive effect.
