The effect of sodium hypochlorite, gibberellic acid, and light on seed dormancy and germination of wild buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus) and cow cockle (Saponaria vaccaria)
TLDR
The hard coat seems to be the main factor in regulating wild buckwheat seed germination and Cow cockle, however, is regressive in this regard.Abstract:
Seed germination of wild buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus L.) and cow cockle (Saponaria vaccaria L.) increased with increasing time of immersion in 6% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Maximum germinati...read more

Actions of sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide on seed dormancy and germination of wild oats, Avena fatua L.
Andrew I. Hsiao,William A. Quick +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest the modes of action of NaOCl and H2O2 in the termination of dormancy reside in a modification of the properties of the hull and seed coat membranes, and in the provision of additional oxygen to the seed.

Effects of sodium hypochlorite and certain plant growth regulators on germination of witchweed (Striga asiatica) seeds [Weed].
TL;DR: In this article, Kuntze et al. reported that the seeds conditioned for 3 weeks in either water or 0.01% (w/v) sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) had 83 to 95% germination after being treated with dl-strigol, kinetin, zeatin, or natural stimulants from corn root exudates.

Effects of soil copper on black bindweed (Fallopia convolvulus) in the laboratory and in the field
TL;DR: It was found that seeds from Cu-stressed plants germinated more readily after a short, cold storage than control seeds, but no differences were found after a longer storage, and growth is more sensitive in the field than should be expected from laboratory tests due to several stressors in the former situation.

Sodium Hypochlorite: Effect of Solution pH on Rice Seed Disinfestation and Its Direct Effect on Seedling Growth
TL;DR: Sodium hypochlorite stimulated rice seedling growth directly, as opposed to an indirect effect related to elimination of microbial contaminants or alleviation of dormancy, which was significantly greater than those treatments in which seeds were treated with sterile water followed by sterile water, HgCl2 followed by sterilised water, and HGCl2 following by KH2PO4.

The Release from Dormancy
J. Derek Bewley,Michael Black +1 more
TL;DR: In natural conditions one or more of the following factors may operate to convert a seed from the dormant to the non-dormant (i.e. germinable) state: light, temperature, ageing, changes in the covering structures, and so on.
