Effect of stratification, temperature and storage on germination in three provenances of Fraxinus angustifolia subsp. oxycarpa seeds

jamacaru seed germination is strongly af- fected by darkness, reinforcing that the absence of light is not appropriate for germination and that the number of germinated seeds

Temporal changes in grain moisture content, seed vigour and germination at various conditions of temperature and relative humidity were analysed by Friedman ANOVA and

Moreover, seeds stored at -18 °C maintained the average germination time from 12 months to fi ve years, showing that this test is not sensitive enough to diagnose decreases

The analysis of the initial physiological quality (time zero) of the seed lot was accomplished by means of the germination test in gerbox-type transparent plastic boxes with

The following treatments were assessed: I - storage of seeds at 4 ºC, during one year; II – dry heat (60 ºC), during seven days; III - dry heat (60 ºC), during 14 days; IV

The effect of MoO 3 nanoparticles on seed germination of vigna unguiculata was studied for 6 days from the day of sowing, by comparing the time taken for seeds to germinate and

Table 1 - Germination, first count of germination (FCG), emergence and cold test in seeds of three irrigated rice cultivars both untreated and treated with carboxin + thiram after

Increased optimal temperature range for germination promoted by chemical scarification is predicted on literature, since this process enables higher water absorption by the
