An automated method for the assessment of the rice grain germination rate. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2023 The germination rate of rice grain is recognized as one of the most significant indicators of seed quality assessment. Currently, grain germination rate is generally determined manually by experienced researchers, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In this paper, a new method is proposed for counting the number of grains and germinated grains.

The Concepts of Seed Germination Rate and Germinability: A Re-Evaluation for Cool-Season Grasses
Agronomy, 2022 Temperature is one the most influential environmental factors for the germination and establishment of grass species. The specific objective of this study was to determine the effects of low constant temperature on the time needed to express the full germination capacity of nondormant seedlots. Fifteen accessions, comprising seven of Lolium perenne L.,

Enhancement of Germination Rate of Aged Seeds by Ethylene [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1971 Naturally and artificially aged seeds of rape, Brassica napus L., produced less ethylene than freshly harvested seed during the early stage of germination. With freshly harvested seeds one peak of ethylene production was observed during germination, which coincided with the emergence and elongation of root and cotyledon, accompanied by splitting of the

Germination Protein Levels and Rates of Germination of Spores of Bacillus subtilis with Overexpressed or Deleted Genes Encoding Germination Proteins [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2012 ABSTRACT Deletion of Bacillus subtilis spores' GerA germinant receptor (GR) had no effect on spore germination via the GerB plus GerK GRs, and loss of GerB plus GerK did not affect germination via GerA. Loss of one or two GRs also did not affect levels of GRs that were not deleted. Overexpression of GRs 5-

Use of ultrasonication to increase germination rates of Arabidopsis seeds [PDF]
Plant Methods, 2017 Arabidopsis thaliana is widely used as model organism in plant biology. Although not of agronomic significance, it offers important advantages for basic research in genetics and molecular biology including the availability of a large number of mutants and genetically modified lines.

Expression Level of Bacillus subtilis Germinant Receptors Determines the Average Rate but Not the Heterogeneity of Spore Germination [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2013 ABSTRACT Germination of Bacillus subtilis spores can be triggered by the binding of specific nutrients, called germinants, to germinant receptors (GRs) in the spore's inner membrane. This interaction eventually initiates, with variable time delays, the release of dipicolinic acid and cations from the spore
