Factors Determining Genotypic Variation in the Speed of Rice Germination [PDF]
Agronomy, 2021 Rapid germination is important for both direct seeded rice in the field and for the production of germinated brown rice for healthy food. This study aims to evaluate genotypic differences in germination speed and identify characteristics that determine ...

Herbivore kairomones affect germination speed, seedling growth, and herbivory. [PDF]
OecologiaAbstract Seeds and seedlings are particularly vulnerable to herbivory. Unlike mature plants, which can wait until herbivory is experienced to induce defense, seeds and seedlings face mortality if they wait. Slug mucus functions as a kairomone, a non-attack-related substance emitted by consumers that is detected by

Germination speed modulates priority effects: Evidence from a large-scale field study. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Priority effects, where species that arrive first influence later arriving species, are often considered in terms of seed arrival time. However, the timing of seedling emergence may play a more critical role, as this defines when plants start interacting.

Comparison of Seed Germinating Vigor, Early Germination Speed and Germination Peak Time in Perennial Ryegrass Cultivars under Different Germination Conditions [PDF]
Weed & Turfgrass Science, 2013 본 실험은 ISTA 변온 및 자연실온 환경에서 퍼레니얼라이그래스 신품종의 종자 발아력, 초기발아속도 및 발아 피크기간 등의 특성을 연구 비교해서 실무적으로 한지형 잔디의 설계, 시공 및 관리에 활용하고자 시작하였다. 실험 I은 ISTA 변온(8시간: 광조건, 25oC; 16시간: 암조건,15oC), 실험 II는 5-25oC로 유지되고 있는 실내 실온환경에서 수행하였다. 퍼레니얼 라이그래스 종자의 발아력, 초기발아속도 및 발아피크기간은 발아환경 및 품종에 따라유의한 차이가 나타났다. 종자 발아력은 ISTA 변온환경에서 66.00-93.75%, 자연실온 환경에서 66.25-93.50%로 나타났다. 초기발아속도는 ISTA 변온에서 ‘

Cryptic Genetic Variation for Arabidopsis thaliana Seed Germination Speed in a Novel Salt Stress Environment. [PDF]
G3 (Bethesda), 2016 Abstract The expansion of species ranges frequently necessitates responses to novel environments. In plants, the ability of seeds to disperse to marginal areas relies in part to its ability to germinate under stressful conditions. Here we examine the genetic architecture of Arabidopsis thaliana germination speed under a novel, saline ...

Effect of gut passage in fish on the germination speed of aquatic and riparian plants
Aquatic Botany, 2016 Abstract How seed-eating animals influence the germination of endozoochorous plant species is of great relevance to our understanding of long-distance seed dispersal. To evaluate the effect of gut passage on the germination speed of aquatic and riparian plants, we fed seeds of 19 species to common carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) and Mozambique tilapia ...

Germination Percentage and Germination Speed of European Larch (Larix decidua Mill.) Seed After Prolonged Storage [PDF]
Northern Journal of Applied Forestry, 2002 Abstract Thirty European larch seedlots stored in plastic, screw-capped containers at 4°C for 3 to 24 yr were tested for their viability. The average germination percentage was 26.7% per seedlot. Fifty percent of all germinating seeds germinated by the 20th day after sowing and 90% had germinated by the 26th day.

Seasonality, dispersal modes, and optimal germination times modulate the fruiting of tropical tree species [PDF]
Rodriguésia, 2023 We investigated the associations of seasonality, dispersal modes and seed germination speeds with the fruiting of Clusia nemorosa, Pleroma fissinervium, and Vochysia pyramidalis in a gallery forest, Chapada Diamantina, Brazil.
