Abstract

Abstract The effect of storage of pregerminated pepper seed ( Capsicum annuum L. cv. Hungarian Wax)at 0°C for 2 to 4 days and 5° for 4 to 21 days on total percent emergence, time to 50% emergence (T 50 ), and tissue viability was examined. An emergence assay at 25°×20° showed that only dry seed and seed held at 0°C for 4 days were slower in emerging than fresh pregerminated seed. Emergence assays at 15°×10° showed that all storage treatments except 5° for 4 days resulted in slower seedling emergence. Dry seed took twice as long to emerge as fresh pregerminated seed at 15°×10°. Percent emergence data and tetrazolium chloride assay results supported the T 50 data.
