Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Hard seed content of Oxytropis riparia was 87 to 96%, depending on seed lot.
- Intervention effect Germination of Oxytropis riparia was maximal between 10 and 30 °C, compared with 5 to 30 °C for alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Alfalfa germination was reduced 70% below control values at −1.0 MPa NaCl.
- Intervention effect Oxytropis riparia germination in PEG 8000 solutions was unaffected down to −1.5 MPa.
- Association Alfalfa germination responded similarly to NaCl and to PEG-imposed osmotic stress.
- Intervention effect Oxytropis riparia germination was less affected by NaCl than by PEG-imposed stress.
- Observation The germination tolerance of Oxytropis riparia to osmotic and salt stress is unique and warrants further study.
