thiourea Page 1 Hort. Sci. (Prague), 33, 2006 (3): 119–123 119 Dormancy is a condition in …

Reproductive meristems and embryos display dormancy mechanisms in specialized
structures named respectively buds and seeds that arrest the growth of perennial plants until …

Seed dormancy affects germination and subsequent seedling growth in many plant species.
In this work the effect of temperature (cold and heat treatments), flowering time of genotypes …

Experiments were done to determine the effects of cold stratification (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100
days), application of gibberelic acid (GA3)(0, 250, 500, 1000 or 2000 mg/l) and the …

Reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species play a signaling role in seed dormancy
alleviation and germination. Their action may be described by the oxidative/nitrosative …

Embryo rescue technique was used successfully to produce interspecific hybrids by crossing
peach (P. persica) as a female parent with apricot (P. armeniaca) and plum (P. salicica). In …

Sexual propagation of Prunus mahaleb is difficult due to seed dormancy. To overcome
dormancy and maximize germination, various pretreatments have been applied, including …

Abstract Background Ornamental peaches cv.'Yaguchi'(Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) can be
propagated via seeds. The establishment of efficient seed treatments for early germination …

Stratification, chilling, and heat requirements for both seeds and buds of five Persian walnut
genotypes were compared. In experiments carried out between November 2006 and March …

Different treatments for germination of two-year stored seeds have been assayed for some
wild almond species including Prunus scoparia, Prunus elaeagnifolia and Prunus …
