Creator:: Onul, Taylan
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to develop a soaking and drying procedure to stimulate faster germination of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) seed. The seeds were soaked in cheesecloth bags in nine chemical solutions. The effects of temperature and time of soaking and of aeration of the solution were...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: most beneficial results were obtained when the seeds were soaked at 5°C for 6 days in an aerated KNO

Creator:: Than, Mya
Abstract:: Germinating seeds often encounter stress conditions of temperature, moisture and oxygen in the field. Germination tests conducted under these stress conditions in the laboratory might be methods of differentiating high and low vigor seeds. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine if these stress conditions reduce germination performance...

Creator:: Matos, Marlene de
Abstract:: This study was undertaken to standardize and evaluate the tyrosinase test as a variety identification procedure for wheat. The potential value of the tyrosinase test lies in its ability to quantify the colored products, rather than relying on visual estimation as in the phenol test. The specific objectives of this...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: non-genetic characteristics on the results of the test, (c) determine the ability of the tyrosinase

Creator:: Dübbern de Souza, Francisco Humberto
Abstract:: This study was undertaken to obtain information on the quality of grass seed when windrowed at the high moisture levels necessary for obtaining maximum yields. A secondary goal was to monitor moisture and temperature fluctuations in the windrow and to relate their effects to development and deterioration of the seed....

Full Text:: favorable and unfavorable environments. Seeds were primed 10 d in a 2 g KNO3 kg" solution at 5-15 °C with

Creator:: Ait Amer Meziane, Aomar
Abstract:: There is an increasing need for development of laboratory identification procedures for purposes of plant variety protection, seed certification, quality control and consumer protection. In the past there were fewer commercial varieties and field testing methods based on morphological differences were used satisfactorily. These tests require several months to complete...

Creator:: Danielson, H. Rodger
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: germination occurred at 5° C; however, the germination rate was too slow to be practical for seed testing
