Impact of sulfuric acid stratification on seed germination of Sapium sebiferum

A, B, C, D, E, F and G are 0-(control), 10-, 20-, 30-, 40-, 50- and 60 minutes incubation in concentrated sulfuric acid respectively. Ten seeds of every treatment were sown in each 10×10 cm pot with 5 replicates. Photographs were taken after one month of seed sowing.

Effect of SCE and PAs on seed germination of S. Sebiferum

A, 0.5×MS (control). B, 0.3% SCE+0.5×MS. C, 0.1% PAs+0.5×MS. For each treatment, twelve seeds were sown in a 9 diameter cm Petri plate separately. All treatments were replicated 5 times. The Photographs were taken on the 7th day of imbibition. Bar = 2cm

Germination promoters recovered the seed germination sown in half MS supplemented with seed coat extract

A, control (sterile water). B, 50 μΜ GA3. C, 50 μΜ NDGA. D, 20 mM H2O2 and E, 0.4% KNO3 priming overnight at room temperature and the primed seed of all treatments were grown separately on 0.3% SCE+0.5×MS in 9 cm Petri plates (12 seeds per plate) for 7 days. These photographs were taken on the 7th day of imbibition. Bars = 1 cm >
