Title
Desiccation of imbibed and germinating pea axes causes a partial reversal of germination events
Louise Lalonde; J. Derek Bewley Canadian Journal of Botany 1985. doi:10.1139/b85-319
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Desiccation in the first 20 h impaired seed viability by at most about 15%.
- Intervention effect Drying after at least 24 h to 5% moisture drastically reduced radicle growth.
- Intervention effect Drying after at least 24 h to 5% moisture drastically reduced viability.
- Observation Pea seeds became desiccation intolerant between 20 and 24 h.
- Intervention effect Total imbibition time before germination was longer after desiccation.
- Mechanism Events before water loss were partly reversed by desiccation.
- Observation Desiccated axes retained some protein synthesis capacity.
