Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect Light inhibited radish seed germination.
- Intervention effect Light favored Brassica vegetable seed germination.
- Association Strong light inhibition of radish germination at low temperature soon after harvest disappeared as seeds aged.
- Intervention effect Radish seed remained inhibited by light to some degree for many years.
- Intervention effect Light promoted Brassica seed only during dormancy.
- Intervention effect Dormancy-breaking treatments removed photosensitivity from radish and Brassica seeds.
- Intervention effect Thiourea promoted germination of dormant shungiku seed.
- Intervention effect Light favored mitsuba seed germination at any temperature.
- Intervention effect Alternating temperatures nearly fully germinated mitsuba seeds in darkness.
- Intervention effect Celery seed was favored by light regardless of seed age.
- Intervention effect Light retarded germination speed in onion and Welsh onion seeds, more strongly in Welsh onion.
- Intervention effect Temperatures over about 28°C suppressed onion seed germination.
- Intervention effect Alternating 33° to 25°C was effective for onion germination, whereas 33° to 28°C was not.
- Intervention effect Electric light retarded pepper seed germination at every temperature.
- Intervention effect Fluorescent light did not retard pepper seed germination.
- Intervention effect Light hindered watermelon, squash, calabash gourd, wax gourd and balsum pear seeds, especially at low temperature.
- Intervention effect Light inhibited cucumber, melon and shirouri seeds only at low temperature.
- Intervention effect Light favored perilla and ramie seed germination at all temperatures.
- Intervention effect No light effect was observed for shungiku, carrot, spinach, beet and leguminous seeds.
