Grand Rapids lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) seeds were stored in an imbibed state for up to two years. Embryos dissected from stored seeds showed a progressive loss with time in their ability to germinate on polyethylene glycol (PEG) solutions. Little germination of dissected embryos from one-month imb

Fluence response curves for red light-induced germination of thermodormant (TD) seeds of Lactuca sativa L. show two regions that differ in their light sensitivity. In the region of high sensitivity, the germination responses differ between seed batches and can be altered by dark storage or far red i
Light of wavelengths in the range 400-500 nm induces germination of seeds of Lactuca sativa L. (cv. Noran and May Queen) when made light requiring by high temperature (thermodormancy) or prolonged exposure to far red light (far red dormancy). TD seeds proved more sensitive to blue light than FRD see
