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

Evaluation of the effects of drought stress of mother plants on some seed germination indices of Satureja hortensis [PDF]
مدیریت بیابان, 2017 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 ...

Effects of different treatments on seed germination of Elymus tangutorum infected with Epichloë bromicola [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 The seeds of Elymus tangutorum infected with Epichloë bromicola were treated by soaked, wet-dry cycle, mechanical damage, and fungicide. The germination time and germination rate the seeds were measured.

A Water Relations Analysis of Seed Germination Rates [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1990 Seed germination culminates in the initiation of embryo growth and the resumption of water uptake after imbibition. Previous applications of cell growth models to describe seed germination have focused on the inhibition of radicle growth rates at reduced water potential (Psi).

Germination Rate and Emergence Success in Bluebunch Wheatgrass [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1994 Development of plant materials adapted to the demands of a harsh environment and conditions created by standard planting practices has resulted in improved seedling establishment for some species. Bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata [Pursh] Love) is an important native bunchgrass often planted in the Intermountain and Pacific Northwest ...

Phytotoxicity of branched cyclohexanes found in the volatile fraction of diesel fuel on germination of selected grass species [PDF]
, 2013 During a larger study to screen candidate plant species for phytoremediation of diesel fuel-contaminated soils, it was observed that at relatively low levels of diesel fuel contamination, delayed shoot/root emergence and reduced germination was observed ...

Post harvest maturation of the selected spring barley varieties in 2011.
Kvasný průmysl, 2012 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.

Regulation of seed germination in the close Arabidopsis relative Lepidium sativum : a global tissue-specific transcript analysis [PDF]
, 2011 The completion of germination in Lepidium sativum and other endospermic seeds (e.g. Arabidopsis [Arabidopsis thaliana]) is regulated by two opposing forces, the growth potential of the radicle (RAD) and the resistance to this growth from the micropylar ...
