AgNPs seed priming accelerated germination speed and altered nutritional profile of Chinese cabbage

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
In this study, the performance of AgNPs-priming (20, 40, and 80 mg/L) on the seed germination, yield, and nutritional quality of Chinese cabbage were evaluated. We found that AgNPs-priming at 20 and 40 mg/L for 15 h significantly accelerated seed germination speed and seedling development. Cabbage seeds primed with different concentrations of AgNPs (0,

Germination Speed as a Predictor of Nursery Seedling Performance

Southern Journal of Applied Forestry, 1984
Abstract Although they are not fully satisfactory, laboratory germination percentages are still better predictors of nursery-tree yield for both loblolly (Pinus taeda L.) and slash (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) pine seeds than any other means now available. Germination values, which combine both speed and completeness of germination, improve

Prediction of germination rates of weed species: Relationships between germination speed parameters and species traits

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 ...

The Influence of Lighting on the Speed of Germination and the Chemical Composition of Germinated Grains of Soybean and Lupine

Elektrotekhnologii i elektrooborudovanie v APK, 2021
Effective industrial rearing of pigs is impossible without providing them with full-value vitamin-enriched feed. The lack of vitamins in feed negatively affects the productivity of animals. One of the simple and affordable ways to increase the vitamin value of feed can be the addition of sprouted grain to the diet of animals.

ExtremeQTLmapping of germination speed inArabidopsis thaliana

Molecular Ecology, 2016
AbstractSeed germination is a key life history transition for annual plants and partly determines lifetime performance and fitness. Germination speed, the elapsed time for a nondormant seed to germinate, is a poorly understood trait important for plants’ competitiveness and fitness in fluctuating environments.

Why wait? Trait and habitat correlates of variation in germination speed among Kalahari annuals

Oecologia, 2009
The longer soil has to stay moist to allow germination the more likely that seedlings experience favourable moisture conditions. Since theory predicts that fitness variance-reducing traits will be negatively correlated, we tested the hypothesis that time to germination is negatively correlated with the ability of radicle growth to keep up with the ...
