Standardizing germination protocols for diverse raspberry and blackberry species

Creator:

Wada, Sugae and Reed, Barbara M.

Abstract:

Most blackberry and raspberry (Rubus) seed exhibit delayed or poor germination because of a deep double dormancy. The objective of this study was to improve seed scarification and germination protocols for the diverse Rubus species in two subgenera often used for breeding improved cultivars. We also defined the germination potential...

Standardizing germination protocols for
Evaluation of Rubus seed characteristics: seed coat morphology, anatomy, germination requirements and dormancy breaking

Creator:

Wada, Sugae

Abstract:

Rubus seed characteristics; seed coat morphology, anatomy, germination requirements and dormancy were studied in order to define protocols for breaking seed dormancy. Morphological analysis of the seed coat (testa) using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) included 56 seed accessions of 10 subgenera preserved in the collections of the US Department of...
