Striga seed-germination activity of root exudates and compounds present in stems of Striga host and nonhost (trap crop) plants is reduced due to root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. [PDF]
, 2009 Root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi reduces stimulation of seed germination of the plant parasite Striga (Orobanchaceae). This reduction can affect not only host plants for Striga, resulting in a lower parasite incidence, but also ...

Look before planting: using smokewater as an inventory tool to predict the soil seed bank and inform ecological management and restoration [PDF]
, 2011 This study tested the efficacy of smokewater to determine the potential germination from soil seed bank in three management sites of the same National Park: a forest site prior to restoration, an ex-pine plantation site and an ex-mine site.

Organic seeds must be of high quality [PDF]
, 2020 The project “SaaGodt” looks into combating seed-borne diseases and the germination quality of organic seeds. Although hypotheses have been made, it cannot be concluded that organic seed generally has poorer germination capacity, says project manager ...

Low temperature stimulates spatial molecular reprogramming of the Arabidopsis seed germination programme [PDF]
, 2021 The timing of the germination of seeds is highly responsive to inputs from the environment. Temperature plays a key role in the control of germination, with low temperatures acting to stimulate this developmental transition in many species.

Pengaruh variasi ukuran biji terhadap perkecambahan Acacia fauntleroyi (maiden) maiden and blakely
Journal of Biological Researches, 2012 The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent are germination of A. fauntleroyi affected by seed size. Does pre-treatment improve germination? Under what temperature regime does most seed germinate?

Analysis of gene expression in early seed germination of rice: landscape and genetic regulation
BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Background Seed germination is a crucial process, which determines the initiation of seed plant life cycle. The early events during this important life cycle transition that called early seed germination is defined as initially water uptake plus radicle ...
