TLDR
Germination of Opuntia tomentosa seeds collected during 1998 was evaluated using treatments of scarification, gibberellic acid, GA3, dry heat, soaking, light, after-ripening and stratification at constant and alternating temperatures.About:

Seed germination of Trichocereus terscheckii (Cactaceae): Light, temperature and gibberellic acid effects
TL;DR: The effect of light and temperature and addition of gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) in the germination of seeds of Trichocereus terscheckii was evaluated in order to provide information about germination requirements which could be use for conservation studies.

Seed anatomy and water uptake in relation to seed dormancy in Opuntia tomentosa (Cactaceae, Opuntioideae)
Alma Orozco-Segovia,Judith Márquez-Guzmán,M.E. Sánchez-Coronado,A. Gamboa de Buen,Jerry M. Baskin,Carol C. Baskin +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that it is unlikely that any species of Opuntia has physical dormancy, and the first integrative study of the anatomy, dynamics of water uptake and dormancy in seeds of Cactaceae subfamily Opuntioideae is concluded.

TL;DR: This is the first time that cactus height is related to photoblastism, and trends found here were in agreement with expectations for small-seeded species to have a light requirement to germinate more often than large-seeding species.
