Journal ArticleDOI
Seed activation and seed germination under moisture stress
TL;DR: The results have a direct bearing both on the seed ‘priming’ treatment used to accelerate seed germination and on the tolerance to drought of seeds in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of light and growth regulators on germination and radicle growth of lettuce seeds held under high-temperature stress and water stress
T. W. Hegarty,Heather A. Ross +1 more
TL;DR: The K + GA3 treatment, whilst promoting germination under high temperature or water stress, reduced radicle growth subsequent to germination, thus providing support for the possibility that, in gerulation, the initiation of cell elongation has a degree of metabolic independence of the other processes associated with growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Action of growth regulators on lucerne germination and growth under water stress
Heather A. Ross,T. W. Hegarty +1 more
TL;DR: The action of kinetin and ethrel was studied by following the processes of cell expansion and division during germination and early growth, and the initiation of this process was shown to be stimulated in the presence of the growth regulators.
