Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of salinity stress tolerance in rice: Challenges and opportunities
Thi My Linh Hoang,Thach Ngoc Tran,Thuy Kieu Tien Nguyen,Brett Williams,Penelope Wurm,Sean M. Bellairs,Sagadevan G. Mundree +6 more
TL;DR: Challenges that hinder the improvement of salinity stress tolerance in rice are discussed as well as potential opportunities for enhancing salinity Stress tolerance in this important crop are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed dormancy mechanisms in warm season grass species
TL;DR: The way in which certain dormancy breaking agents are thought to work is discussed and practical applications of such agents in field situations are explained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smoke and heat effects on soil seed bank germination for the re-establishment of a native forest community in New South Wales
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of plant-derived smoke and heat on the emergence of seedlings from seeds were assessed in a dry sclerophyll, spotted gum (Corymbia maculata), forest community at the Mount Owen open cut coal mine in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smoke affects the Germination of Native Grasses of New South Wales
Tamara R. Read,Sean M. Bellairs +1 more
TL;DR: Sowing smoke-treated husked seeds is likely to be preferable as it would still promote greater germination, whereas dehusking seeds can result in the seeds being more susceptible to desiccation and fungal attack in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature effects on the seed germination of ten kwongan species from Eneabba, Western Australia.
Sean M. Bellairs,David T. Bell +1 more
TL;DR: Western Australian perennial species had optimum germination percentages between 15 and 20oC, except Eucalyptus tetragona which had an optimum at 25oC and Leptospermum spinescens which had a optimum at 10°C.
