Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Embryos of Magnolia sargentiana grew markedly under cold and warm stratification, regardless of GA3 and 6-BA pretreatment.
- Observation Germination of Magnolia sargentiana seeds was optimal at 30 ℃/20 ℃ among the tested temperatures.
- Mechanism Morphological dormancy of Magnolia sargentiana is caused by an underdeveloped embryo that must mature before germination.
- Observation Seed survival rate of Magnolia sargentiana was 78.3% at 7.1% water content.
- Observation Seed survival rate of Magnolia sargentiana was 40% at 5.3% water content.
- Intervention effect Seeds at 9.4% or 7.1% water content conserved at –20 ℃ for 6 months completely lost viability, unlike seeds hermetically stored at 0 ℃ and 4 ℃.
- Observation Magnolia sargentiana seeds could tolerate desiccation to a limited extent.
- Observation Magnolia sargentiana seeds are intermediate in storage behaviour.
