Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect A 0.25 mol/L sodium chloride solution inhibited alfalfa seed germination.
- Intervention effect Ethephon could relieve sodium chloride inhibition of alfalfa germination.
- Intervention effect Separating the embryo from endosperm and testa eliminated the ethylene effect.
- Intervention effect Returning endosperm and testa to the embryo restored the ethylene effect.
- Observation The endosperm and testa factor required for the ethylene effect was water soluble, heat stable and small molecular.
- Intervention effect EDTA reduced the ethylene effect in whole seed or with endosperm and testa present.
- Intervention effect EGTA reduced the ethylene effect in whole seed or with endosperm and testa present.
- Intervention effect Calcium relieved salt inhibition of separated embryo fresh weight increase with ethephon and without endosperm and testa.
- Mechanism The authors proposed calcium as the effective endosperm and testa factor.
