The high germination power of tiny vetch seeds stored in a storeroom indicates that this plant can be classified as an obligatory speirochoric weed species.

Development of a thermal-time model for combinational dormancy release of hairy vetch (Vicia villosa ssp. villosa)

Based on model predictions, under a semi-arid thermal regime, >45% of vetch seeds shed during the summer season would be able to germinate during early autumn, and the seed-bank size threshold at the end of the first growing season should be >65 seeds m–2 in order to reach a minimum stand of 30 plants m–2 necessary for a productive pasture.

Effect of water availability and seed source on physical dormancy break of Vicia villosa ssp. villosa

Water availability increased PY loss rate under both storage and field conditions and the seed source on initial PY and dormancy release rate of ASC compared to 45 other populations of V. villosa, including wild, naturalized, landraces and cultivars was adequately described.

Malva Verticillata L. and Vicia Hirsuta (L.) S.F. Gray – Invasive Species of Siberia (Overview)

The article provides an overview of information on the two invasive species of Siberia that are weeds of crops - Malva verticillata L. and Vicia hirsuta (L.) S.F. Gray and the possible consequences of the introduction in natural plant communities.

Activity of α-d-Galactosidase in Long-Stored Seeds of Vicia hirsuta

Investigating changes in α-D-galactosidase activity during the long-term storage of Vicia hirsuta seeds and evaluating the association between the loss of enzyme activity and the decline in seed vigour and viability found the enzyme activity showed a significant correlation with seed germinability and vigour.

The first comprehensive archaeobotanical analysis of prehistoric agriculture in Kyrgyzstan

We present here the first comprehensive archaeobotanical investigation from the prehistoric farming settlement of Chap I (1065–825 cal bce), located in a high altitude valley in the central Tien Shan…

Effect of maturity stage on germination and dormancy of fresh and air‐dried seeds of bitter vetch (Vicia ervilia L.)

Bitter vetch seeds harvested at the YP stage may require scarification and a longer prechilling treatment to overcome seed dormancy observed at this stage, and maximum germination and minimum dormancy was achieved for air‐dried and dry‐prechilled seeds harvesting at the BP stage.

Seasonal cycles in the germination capacity of buried seeds of some Leguminosae (Fabaceae)

At least for some legume species, a combination of temperature treatments may act as a signal for seeds and induce water uptake and germination, and if the temperature requirements are not fulfilled, seeds remain impermeable and dormant until the next favourable season.

Species differences in seed water status during seed maturation and germination

There was little variation in the water potential of the embryo/axis among species at the end of seed growth (PM) or at the beginning of germination, consistent with the suggestion that the water status of critical seed structures may play a regulatory role in seed growth and germination.

Germination ecology of Scorpiurus subvillosus L. seeds: the role of temperature and storage time

Investigation of changing in germination determined by storage time and temperature on seeds of two populations of S. subvillosus finds a softening effect, which is somewhat limited by the natural ageing of seeds occurring from about 6 months after harvest.

Seed development, quality, maturity synchrony and yield of selected mungbean genotypes

A field experiment was conducted to examine the pattern of dry matter accumulation in seed and pod, seed quality, and yield performance of five selected genotypes of mungbean, finding that NM92 and NM94 are more synchronous in pod maturity than other genotypes.

Seed dormancy and germination: the role of abscisic acid and gibberellins and the importance of hormone mutants

It is concluded that abscisic acid plays a pivotal role during the development of primary dormancy and gibberellins are involved in the induction of germination.

The physiology of seed hydration and dehydration, and the relation between water stress and the control of germination: a review

This review surveys briefly the responses of seeds held at different hydration levels, from normal germination in a free water supply to seed activation without germination under slight moisture stress, seed deterioration at greater moisture stress and the damage that can be caused to seeds in very dry conditions, as well as the responses to subsequent dehydration.

The Storage of Seeds for Maintenance of Viability

The storage of seeds for maintenance of viability is discussed in detail in the second part of this monograph on storage and viability of seeds.
