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 ...

Influence of moisture content, temperature and heating rate on germination rate of watermelon seeds
Scientia Horticulturae, 2020Abstract Thermal treatments are widely used to control bacterial fruit blotch on watermelon seeds contaminated by pathogens. It is necessary for developing effective heat treatments for seed pasteurization, which will not adversely affect their germination properties.

Parameters estimation of the predicting model for germination rates of drying maize
2010 Sixth International Conference on Natural Computation, 2010It is known that parameter estimations of complex mathematical models needs efficency methods to search the optimization values. In this paper, a method is proposed to optimize parameters of complex mathmatical models by genetic algorithm. By this way, genetic algorithm and parameter estimation carry on organic combination.

Germination rate of watermelon seeds as affected by temperature, moisture content and heating rate
2020 ASABE Annual International Virtual Meeting, July 13-15, 2020, 2020Abstract. Thermal treatments are widely used to control bacterial fruit blotch on watermelon seeds contaminated by pathogens. It is necessary for developing effective pasteurization methods, which may not affect the germination rate of seeds by meeting the commercial circulation requirements.

Acta Horticulturae, 1998
Production of high quality seed is the basis for a durable and profitable agriculture. After production, seed is processed, conditioned, stored, shipped and used throughout the world. Seed quality, as typified by general condition, purity and viability has to be controlled at all steps of the production chain until it is used for the next year' crop ...

Effect of sound on the germination rate of turnip seeds
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1974The number of seeds that germinate as a function of time has been examined keeping all environmental parameters constant with the exception of the sound pressure level and frequency These data were very reproducible. At 100 dB all the single-frequency sound data have essentially the same characteristic curve.

Alternating Temperatures and Rate of Seed Germination in Lentil
Annals of Botany, 1994The effect of alternating temperatures on the times taken by seeds of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) to germinate was investigated using a two-way temperature-gradient plate. Between 5 and 25°C, warmer temperatures increased the rate of germination.

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 ...

Control of galactosyl‐sugar metabolism in relation to rate of germination
Physiologia Plantarum, 1983The storage sugars stachyose and raffinose (galactosyl derivatives of sucrose) are metabolized early during germination of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seeds. The activities of four enzymes involved in the catabolism of these sugars were monitored in soybean cotyledons and embryonic axes during a 7‐day germination period.

Germination Rates of Tree Seeds Ingested by Coyotes and Raccoons
The American Midland Naturalist, 1999Abstract The effect of ingestion by coyotes (Canis latrans) and raccoons (Procyon lotor) on seed germination was investigated for four tree species in Illinois. The germination rate of persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) seeds ingested by raccoons was significantly higher than the rate for uningested seeds. Both were significantly higher than the rate for
