Methods to Promote Germination of Dormant Setaria viridis Seeds
Figure 4
Effect of GA3 and liquid smoke on breaking seed dormancy in different S. viridis accessions.
Effect of GA3 and liquid smoke on promoting seed germination in 13 different S. viridis accessions (n = 20 to 30 seeds). Graph is plotted using the difference in percent germination observed between the control seeds (incubated in water at 29°C for 24 hours) and GA3 + KNO3 or liquid smoke treated seeds (seed age 30 to 65 dph).
