Anatomy and Germination of Erythrina velutina Seeds under a Different Imbibition Period in Gibberellin
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Material and Methods
- % of germination (G) or germinability, calculated through [22] formula:G = (N/A) × 100
- Germination speed index (GSI), calculated by the formula of [23]:GSI = G1/N1 + G2/N2 + ⋯ + Gn/Nn
- Mean germination time (t) in days, calculated by the formula [24]:t = (∑niti)/∑ni
- Average germination speed (AGS) in days, calculated by the formula [24]:AGS = 1/t
- Relative germination frequency, in percentage, according to the formula [22]:
