Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect Cold conditioning increased crabgrass germination in darkness relative to light.
- Intervention effect High temperature conditioning made crabgrass germination greater in light.
- Intervention effect High temperature conditioning also made Sporobolus germination relatively greater in light, to a lesser extent than crabgrass.
- Association Seed water content changed the light response to temperature pretreatment.
- Intervention effect Treatments suppressing germination diminished enzyme activity and autolysis.
- Association Heat induced viability loss was not always correlated with oxidase activity loss.
- Intervention effect Glucose restored germination in a fraction of heat-treated Sporobolus grains.
- Intervention effect Sucrose restored germination in a fraction of heat-treated Sporobolus grains.
- Intervention effect Hydroquinone restored germination in a fraction of heat-treated Sporobolus grains.
- Intervention effect Light or glucose restored germination in crabgrass grains.
- Intervention effect Temperature conditioning sometimes promoted germination compared with controls.
- Intervention effect Combining high seed water content and high conditioning temperature harmed germination.
- Intervention effect Wheat seeds were most heat tolerant and little affected by 60 minutes at 100°C.
- Observation Flax and radish seeds resisted 100°C treatment better than bean and corn seeds.
- Intervention effect Light inhibited flax germination after heat treatment.
- Intervention effect Light inhibited radish germination after heat treatment.
- Intervention effect Soil or soil extract improved germination of flax seeds heated at 110°C for 65 minutes.
- Intervention effect Ascorbic acid improved germination of flax seeds heated at 110°C for 65 minutes.
- Observation Flax plants from seeds heated at 110°C for 65 minutes had abnormal roots and stunted growth.
