Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Pretreatment temperatures above 9°C had no significant effect on seed dormancy
- Observation Pretreatment at 0.5°C and 4.0°C was equally efficient in releasing seed dormancy
- Observation Only seeds pretreated at 4°C germinated during pretreatment
- Intervention effect Seeds developed at the highest temperature regime had lower seed moisture contents than at the lowest regime
- Intervention effect Seeds developed at the highest temperature regime were less dormant than at the lowest regime
- Observation The difference in pretreatment needed for maximum germination was 4-5 weeks
- Observation Twelve weeks of pretreatment was sufficient to break dormancy in M. sieboldii seeds
- Observation At least 15-16 weeks of pretreatment was needed to break seed dormancy of M. sargentii
