Fine-Scale Mechanisms Influencing Germination Success, Seedling Growth and Survival in an Alpine Forest-Tundra Ecotone
… seed production, germination, establishment and growth of young seedlings. To that end, I studied the white spruce (Picea glauca) alpine treeline in the Kluane region of southwest Yukon to explore two important questions related to treeline ecology: (1) Is there sufficient viable seed dispersed …

USING THE FORESTRY RECLAMATION APPROACH FOR RECLAIMED SURFACE MINELAND IN THE WESTERN GULF: EFFECTS ON PINUS TAEDA SEEDLING GROWTH AND SURVIVAL
… loblolly pine (<em>Pinus </em><em>taeda </em>L.) seedlings of a western Gulf provenance were hand-planted. Soil chemical and physical parameters were assessed on each treatment to determine the effect the FRA and scraper method had on resulting tree seedling growth and survival.</p> <p>After three …

Biochemical and Physiological Aspects of Precocious Soybean Seed (Glycine Max (L.) Merr.); Maturation
… from the pod and planted, they do not exhibit seedling growth until a seed age of 63 days after flowering (DAF) when the percent seed moisture falls below 60%. In contrast, seed germination (radicle protrusion) can occur when seeds as young as 35 DAF (68-79% moisture) are excised, but this …

Influence of Pisolithus tinctorius and mine spoil on the growth of Virginia pine seedlings
Containerized Virginia pine seedlings were inoculated with Pisolithus tinctorius and grown monoxenically in various substrates consisting of peat:vermiculite amended by mine spoil. Significantly better seedling growth and ectomycorrhizal development occurred when substrates were inoculated three …

Cell cycle parameters and sweet corn emergence and seedling vigor
… are associated with reduced emergence and poor seedling vigor. Shrunken2 genotypes with known differences for field emergence and vigor were used to investigate the contribution of seedling cell division to emergence and seedling growth. Variation among genotypes was observed for all of the cell …
