Voorbeelden van germinated

• No surface-sterilized seeds germinated in any of the pretreatments although viability remained at 100%.

• The germinated and nongerminated seeds were counted using a binocular microscope.

• Germinated seeds were counted and removed and distilled water added at weekly intervals.

• Light treatments were inspected weekly for germinated achenes and dark treatments every second week.

• The methods applied to obtain primed seeds without loss of longevity are very similar to those used to induce desiccation tolerance in germinated seeds.

• Seeds made water-permeable by boiling imbibed water, and thus germinated, at a much slower rate than those made water-permeable by mechanical scarification.

• Only two of 221 seeds (<1%) monitored beneath the study tree or in the experimental plots germinated, one after its seed coat was damaged.

• In this experiment, 4 replicate batches of 100 seeds of each treatment combination were stored and after treatment seeds were germinated as described above.

• The initial viability of the seeds was estimated using 3 batches of 100 untreated seeds that were germinated at the start of storage.

• None of the untreated seeds germinated, although all appeared healthy when cut open at the end of the experiment.

• Between 60 and 80 % of seeds germinated after six months storage at 12.8 % moisture content.

• At the commencement of the emergence trial, germinated seeds (radicle protrusion of 1-2 mm) were selected from each treatment and planted.

• Under aerobic conditions, seeds germinated more rapidly at lower salinity.

• Seeds with radicles 2 mm were considered to be germinated and thus discontinued for the imbibition tests.

• None of the caryopses matured in this regime germinated at zero time compared with an initial germination of 42% for the well-watered control.
