Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Indole-3-acetic acid did not stimulate ethylene production or germination.
- Intervention effect Gibberellic acid stimulated ethylene production by apical seeds to 17 millimicroliters per hour.
- Intervention effect Basal seeds responded less to gibberellic acid than apical seeds.
- Intervention effect Ethylene gas increased germination of apical and basal seeds to 85% above control.
- Intervention effect Ethylene altered basal seed physiology to resemble apical seeds.
- Intervention effect 2-Chloroethylphosphonic acid gave results similar to ethylene gas.
- Intervention effect Both apical and basal seeds germinated 100% at 48 hours with 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid.
