Treatment of soybean seeds with mechanical damage: Effects on their physiological potential
(2021-01-01)
Mechanical damage is a serious problem for the physiological potential of soybean seeds, especially when combined with chemical treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chemical treatment on the ...
Germination and soil seed bank traits of Podocarpus angustifolius (Podocarpaceae): an endemic tree species from Cuban rain forests
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2011)
Quinolizidine alkaloids in Ormosia arborea seeds inhibit predation but not hoarding by agoutis (Dasyprocta leporina)
(Kluwer Academic/plenum Publ, 2003-05-01)
Quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs) are secondary compounds found in seeds of many species of plants, possibly protecting them against pathogens and seed predators. QAs were isolated from Ormosia arborea seeds and bioassayed ...
Transcriptome analysis in osmo-primed tomato seeds with enhanced longevity by heat shock treatment
(2020-08-19)
Seed priming is widely used in commercial seeds and its main function is to accelerate and synchronize seed germination. Undesirably, primed seeds show reduced longevity and treatments like heat shock have been shown to ...
Treatment with Thiabendazole can enhance germination, vigor and reduce incidence of fungi in zucchini seeds
(2016-01-01)
Some chemical treatments might be required to eradicate or reduce the presence of fungi in seeds. However, these treatments can impair seed quality depending on the dose used. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate ...
Red to Far-red Ratio During Seed Development Affects Lettuce Seed Germinability and Longevity
(AMER SOC HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE, 2009)
Thermoinhibition and photosensitivity are two characteristics of lettuce seed that frequently affect its stand. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that lettuce seed germinability and longevity ...
Imbibition and vigor of chemically scarified Poncirus trifoliata seeds
(Association of Official Seed Analysts and the Society of Commercial Seed Technologists, 2018)
Poncirus trifoliata is the most important rootstock in citrus production in Argentina. The seeds exhibit slow and uneven germination due to physical dormancy associated with the presence of seed coats. The objectives of ...
Size-related seed use by rodents on early recruitment of Quercus serrata in a subtropical island forest
(2022-01-01)
Rodents are ubiquitous seed predators in nature and their size-related seed choice plays an important role in the plant's community structure. However, to understand how size-related seed predation by rodents affects plant ...
