Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Initial germination was 63% for whole seeds.
- Intervention effect After liquid nitrogen exposure, germination of whole seeds was 48%.
- Intervention effect After liquid nitrogen exposure, germination of excised embryonic axes was 57%.
- Intervention effect Freezing did not significantly change germination of excised embryos across moisture contents.
- Intervention effect Liquid nitrogen reduced whole seed germination.
- Intervention effect Hydration and dehydration did not reduce whole seed germination.
- Method / resource Embryonic axis culture was more efficient than the standard germination test for seed viability assessment.
