Seed germination percentage, shoot length, root length, fresh and dry weight of seedlings, vigor index I, and vigor index II were measured after 21 days of treatment. Seeds germinated after 7 days were considered as germinated seeds, and germination% was calculated using the following formula [4...
Germination percent and seedling vigour index (SVI) was calculated using the following formulae:Seedling vigour index (SVI) = (Root length + Shoot length) x Germination (%)Germination (%) = Germinated seeds / Total seeds x 100Variance analysis indicated significant differences among seed grades ...
Seeds, as reproductive units, are expected to produce plants in the field. However, farmers and seed producers have long recognized that the labeled germination often overestimates the actual field emergence of seed lots. This occurs because by definition, germination is the “emergence and developme...
PZCA-NCs treated seeds at 25 mL/kg enumerated higher germination, vigour index, α-amylase, dehydrogenase, and catalase and peroxidase activity under ageing. Seeds storage pathogen infection was reduced with an increase in the concentration of PZCA-NCs coating. The bioassay results on insect ...

Genetic mapping within the wheat D genome reveals QTL for germination, seed vigour and longevity, and early seedling growth. Euphytica 171, 129–143 (2010). Article Google Scholar Zuo, J. H. et al. Genome-wide linkage mapping reveals QTLs for seed vigor-related traits under artificial aging...
Fertilizers applications increased the germination rate and vigour index of seed by an average of 19.38% and 61.60% across different treatments. We observed the growth of seedlings after the germination experiment. Fertilizer application promoted the growth of seedlings. The co-application of N, P ...
area index (LAI) was calculated as the total leaf area per unit land area48, and the specific leaf area (SLA)48and specific stem biomass (SSB) were calculated, respectively, using the following formulae: $${\rm{Specific}}\,{\rm{leaf}}\,{\rm{area}}(c{m}^{2}{g}^{-1})=\frac...
