Germination niche of an emergent invasive grass, Arthraxon hispidus

Beall, Michael ChristianVirginia Tech2022

… stage that allows a species to disperse. Freshly harvested seeds germinated effectively within 14 days of imbibition in the dark at 23°C, exhibiting little to no dormancy or influence by light. A pH range of 5 - 10 resulted in ≥ 80% germination, suggesting that pH will not limit colonization in …

Studies on the Plasticity of Dormancy and on Aging in Switchgrass Seeds

Shen, ZhengxingVirginia Tech1997

The dormancy of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) seeds may be broken by a variety of treatments, including after-ripening and stratification. This study was conducted to investigate and characterize more systematically factors affecting both after-ripening and stratification effectiveness, and the …
