Evaluation of seed soaking times on germination percentage, germination rate and growth characteristics of pistachio seedlings Universiteit Gent
Seed dormancy, germination, emergence and seed longevity in Galinsoga parviflora and G. quadriradiata Universiteit Gent
Maternal temperature during seed maturation affects seed germination and timing of bud set in seedlings of European black poplar Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek Universiteit Gent
Abstract
The maternal temperature during seed development can significantly affect seed dormancy, germination and seedling performance. While the response of germination and seedling phenology to maternal temperatures has been well studied for annuals and conifers, very few studies focus on deciduous trees. To understand the responses of seedlings to variation in maternal temperature during seed maturation, we assessed the ...

Photophobia in Lilioid monocots: photoinhibition of seed germination explained by seed traits, habitat adaptation and phylogenetic inertia KU Leuven Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Photoinhibition of seed germination, known to occur notably in species growing in dry and hot habitats, is considered an adaptation to avoid germination at the soil surface after unpredictable rainfall events during the dry season. Hence, the association of this ecophysiological response with plant life histories and the natural environment was investigated in Lilioid monocots, a group of plants where photoinhibition has ...
Seed morphogenesis and effect of pretreatments on seed germination of Persian shallot (Allium hirtifolium Boiss.), an endangered medicinal plant Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
This study was conducted to evaluate seed morphogenesis and effect of pretreatments on seed germination of Persian shallot or mooseer (Allium hirtifolium Boiss.). In a first experiment, seed developmental stages of Persian shallot (Mooseer) were assessed. Results showed that number of ovules varied among locules and flowers. In most cases 3–4 ovules occurred per locule and developed into 1–2 seeds and therefore, a ripe capsule usually contained ...
Climate shapes the seed germination niche of temperate flowering plants: a meta-analysis of European seed conservation data KU Leuven Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Interactions between ecological factors and seed physiological responses during the establishment phase shape the distribution of plants. Yet, our understanding of the functions and evolution of early-life traits has been limited by the scarcity of large-scale datasets. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the germination niche of temperate plants is shaped by their climatic requirements and phylogenetic relatedness, using ...
