Evaluation of seed soaking times on germination percentage, germination rate and growth characteristics of pistachio seedlings

open access: yesActa Horticulturae, 2016
In traditional pistachio cultivation, prior to sowing seeds the latter are soaked in water for different times as farmers claim that this will contribute to germination. To our best knowledge, this is the first attempt to evaluate the effect of different water-soaking time periods on germination in pistachio.

Can rodents enhance germination rates in rainforest seeds?

open access: yesEcological Management & Restoration, 2012
SummaryThe 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.

Effect of cadmium on germination, amylases and rate of respiration of germinating pea seeds

Environmental Pollution, 1996
Growth 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 ...

Ribosomal RNA integrity and rate of seed germination

Planta, 1980
The 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.

POLLEN VIABILITY AND GERMINATION RATES OF 45 WATERMELON GENOTYPES

Acta Horticulturae, 2007
This 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, 2015
Seed 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 ...

Epigenetic mechanisms regulating seed germination rate

Cytology and Genetics, 2017
Changes in epigenetic polymorphism degree within wheat seedlings’ population under radiation stimulating exposure of germination were investigated. Variations in seeds sample allocations by germination rate in both control and chronically exposed variants were estimated.

Improving germination rate of soybeans as a biofuel resource

2008 IEEE 35th International Conference on Plasma Science, 2008
Summary 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.
