This review provides a revised and expanded word-formula system of whole-seed primary
dormancy classification that integrates the scheme of Nikolaeva with that of Baskin and …

Seed is a developmental stage that is highly protective against external stresses in the plant
life cycle. In this study, we analyzed toxicity of essential (Cu 2+ and Zn 2+) and non-essential …

Effects of 2° C chilling on the threshold moisture contents and water potentials for various
physiological processes were estimated forAesculus hippocastanumL. seed. Seed …

Light conditions provide important information about the best time and place for seedling
establishment. Photoinhibition of seed germination (PISG), defined as the partial or …

In Flanders, forests have been subjected to subsequent periods of reclamation and
reforestation, leading to a mosaic of forest patches of various ages and with different abiotic …

The importance of ion and chlorophyll accumulation was evaluated in brown seeds of a
Suaeda salsa population from an intertidal zone and one from a saline inland zone during …

Forest roads alter the biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems, modifying temperature,
humidity, wind speed, and light availability that, in turn, cause changes in plant community …

The effects of temperature on dormancy loss, germination and viability were investigated in
seeds of Aesculus hippocastanum L. harvested over a 4-year period. Release from embryo …

Each taxon is characterized by a temperature range over which seed germination is
possible and this may vary in space and time in relation to climate and ecological conditions …

The design and testing of a novel vermicomposting system, acronymed FLUVTS─
FLippable Units Vermireactor Train System─ is presented. It enables rapid …
