Molecular dissection of seedling-vigor and associated physiological traits in rice

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2002
seedling-vigor is important for crop establishment. There have been reported quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses on seedling-vigor related morphological traits. However, physiological understanding of these detected QTLs is rather limited. In this study, we employed a recombinant inbred population to detect QTLs for seedling-vigor traits and ...

Heat production and seedling vigor of germinating soybean seeds

open access: yes, 1997
Measuring the metabolic heat production of germinating seeds may reflect the respiratory characteristics of seed and seedling vigor. This study was established to determine the feasibility of using calorimetric data as an index of seedling vigor. Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seeds and a multiplex heat conduction calorimeter were used in this study.

Identification of QTLs for seedling vigor in winter wheat

Euphytica, 2014
Seedling vigor is an important trait characterized by rapid development of vegetative cover above the soil surface, particularly in rainfed environments. To elucidate the genetic basis of seedling vigor, 207 F2:4 lines derived from Jingdong 8/Aikang 58 were investigated in the field at Beijing and Gaoyi, Hebei province, during the 2011–2012 and 2012 ...

A NONDESTRUCTIVE TECHNIQUE FOR MEASURING SEEDLING VIGOR IN WHEAT

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1977
A nondestructive method of screening for seedling vigor is described. The technique involves the measurement of green shoot weight and the subsequent regeneration of the plants from transplanted shoots or from the seedling base. The method is quick and can be adapted to breeding programs.

Seedling vigor in beta vulgaris: The artistry of germination.

Proceedings of 35th Biennial Meeting, 2009
Seedling vigor and stand establishment are two problems that growers have struggled with for decades. The initial conditions that a germinating seed encounters, and its ability to deal with them, affect the rate at which germination occurs, the rate of mobilization of stored energy reserves that the seedling uses to withstand adverse environments post ...
