- Intervention effect Parental short days accelerated loss of postharvest seed dormancy versus long days.
- Intervention effect Parental short days raised dark germination versus long days.
- Intervention effect Parental short days increased responsiveness to low temperature pretreatment and short illumination.
- Intervention effect Switching parents from short to long days lowered these responses versus continuous short days.
- Intervention effect Lower parental temperature enhanced short day promotion of dark germination.
- Intervention effect Lower parental temperature reduced offspring response to low temperature pretreatment.
- Intervention effect Seeds from inflorescences developing in long days germinated more when flowering was not induced.
- Intervention effect Reduced parental solar radiation lowered dark germination and cold response in long days.
- Intervention effect Reduced parental solar radiation raised dark germination and cold response in short days.
- Association Parental environment effects on germination did not correlate with seed coat thickness or dry weight.
