How and why to measure the germination process

TL;DR: A review about measurements of the germination process, with an analysis of the several mathematical expressions included in the specific literature, recovering the history, sense, and limitations of some germination measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seed vigor testing: an overview of the past, present and future perspective

TL;DR: The role of Brazilian research in seed vigor is emphasized to provide an overview of the evolution of knowledge also attempting to highlight events that contributed to the advancement of research on the subject.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect on germination and early growth characteristics in sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seeds exposed to static magnetic field.

TL;DR: The higher enzyme activity in magnetic-field-treated sunflower seeds could be triggering the fast germination and early vigor of seedlings, as well as improving seed coat membrane integrity and reduced the cellular leakage and electrical conductivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative Effects of NaCl and Polyethylene Glycol on Germination, Emergence and Seedling Growth of Cowpea

TL;DR: It is conclusively proves that the adverse effect of PEG-8000 on germination, emergence and early seedling growth was due to the osmotic effect rather than the specific ion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of bulk and nanosized titanium dioxide (tio2) on wheat seed germination and seedling growth

TL;DR: Results indicated that among the wheat germination indices, only mean germination time was affected by treatments, and Employing nanosized TiO2 in suitable concentration could promote the seed germination of wheat in comparison to bulkTiO2 but in high concentrations had inhibitory or any effect on wheat.
