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