Physiological and biochemical studies of stratified Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] seeds after redrying, storage, and subsequent germination

Creator:

Malavasi, Marlene de Matos

Abstract:

The physiological and biochemical responses of Douglas-fir seeds to stratification, redrying, storage and subsequent germination were determined. Stratification increased seed vigor, embryo and gametophyte phosphorylative efficiency and RNA synthetic ability. Redrying seems to increase the rate of enthryonic nucleic acid synthesis, speed of germination and seedling vigor. ATP, total adenosine...
