Seed dormancy in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Shreb.) : acquisition, effect on metabolic processes and relief by temperature and growth regulators

Creator:

Boyce, Kevin Gilbert

Abstract:

Dormancy in seed of Festuca arundinacea Shreb. was studied. The acquisition of dormancy during seed maturation was examined and the effect on dormancy relief by chemical and physical treatments was determined. The implication of endogenous growth inhibitors in dormancy imposition and maintenance was assessed. Germination responses to temperature and growth...
