Single count of radicle emergence and mean germination time estimate seed vigour of Chinese milk vetch (Astragalus sinicus)

Qibo Tao et al.

Summary: This research found that both radicle emergence (RE) and mean germination time (MGT) are suitable indices for evaluating the vigour of Chinese milk vetch (CMV) seeds. However, RE is more accurate, quick, and convenient.

Radicle emergence (RE) test identifies differences in normal germination percentages (NG) of watermelon, lettuce and carrot seed lots

Serpil Mis et al.

Summary: This study found that the radicle emergence test can predict the normal germination percentage of watermelon, lettuce, and carrot seeds. By testing the emergence of the radicle, the germination performance of the seeds can be accurately predicted.

Seed vigour in the 21st century

Alison A. Powell

Summary: Since seed vigour was introduced into the ISTA Rules in 2001, there have been significant developments in research and testing. This article discusses the seed ageing/repair hypothesis, the development and modification of vigour tests, approaches based on seed response to stress, and the use of advanced technologies. It also highlights the potential of the radicle emergence test for future applications.

Early counts of radicle emergence, counted manually and by image analysis, can reveal differences in the production of normal seedlings and the vigour of seed lots of cauliflower

Takashi Shinohara et al.

Summary: The study found that a single count of radicle emergence can predict the production of normal seedlings and seed vigour in cauliflower seed lots. The differences in seed vigour were related to the extent of seed ageing, indicating that genotypic differences may also play a role.
