Salinity on the germination of seed and index of germination speed of three ornamental species
Ornamental Horticulture, 2016 Salinity is a factor that interferes on seed germination in most species. The objective of this work was to study the effects of different concentrations of NaCl on the emergence and vigor of Petunia x hybrida hort. Vilm E. ex., Torenia fournieri Lind and Tagetes patula L. seedlings. The experimental design was entirely randomized with five treatments (

Germination and field emergence in osmotic and solid matrix priming in onion (Allium cepa)
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2014 Solid matrix priming for 24 hr significantly improved seed germination (81.6%) as compared to 12 hr, 36 hr or 48 hr duration. A priming duration of 24 hr gave maximum speed of germination (16.95) while priming duration of 48 hr gave minimum value for ...

Cold Radiofrequency Plasma Treatment Modifies Wettability and Germination Speed of Plant Seeds [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2012 We report the possibility to modify the wetting properties of the surfaces of a diversity of seeds including: lentils (Lens culinaris), beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and wheat (Triticum, species C9) by cold radiofrequency air plasma treatment. Air plasma treatment leads to the dramatic decrease in the apparent contact angle.

Smoke and heat accelerate and increase germination in fire‐prone temperate grassy ecosystems
Ecosphere, 2021 Fire increases seedling recruitment by reducing competition for space and resources. As such, many species in fire‐prone ecosystems germinate in response to fire cues such as smoke and heat.
