The radicle emergence test and storage longevity of cucurbit rootstock seed lots

Sitki Ermis et al.

Summary: This study investigated the correlation between radicle emergence (RE) counts and the storage potential of cucurbit rootstock seed lots. The results showed that RE counts were highly correlated with normal germination percentage, estimated initial viability, and the time for viability to fall to 50%. Therefore, RE tests can be used as an indicator of seed lot longevity in cucurbit rootstock cultivars.

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.
