Germination Of Seeds Of Perennials Native To The Minnesota Region, May L. Wright

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Requirements for the germination of the seeds of herbaceous perennials native to the Minnesota region are given in general. Examples of specific requirements are noted for certain plant species.


Germination And Early Development Of The Silky Prairie Clover, Richard B. Forbes Jan 1967

Germination And Early Development Of The Silky Prairie Clover, Richard B. Forbes

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Field and laboratory studies of the silky prairie clover (Petalostemon villosum Nutt.) in central Minnesota indicated that seeds of this plant require scarification but do not require an overwintering period, to germinate. Germination and primary root growth are rapid; shoot growth appears to be quite slow. Methods of associating shoot growth with age are suggested and several notes on the life history of the plant ore presented.


The History Of Germinating Embryos Of The Eastern Dwarfmistletoe (Arceuthobium Pusillum Peck), Frank H. Tainter Jan 1967

The History Of Germinating Embryos Of The Eastern Dwarfmistletoe (Arceuthobium Pusillum Peck), Frank H. Tainter

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Embryos of germinating seeds of Arceuthobium pusillum have four histological zones: the protoderm of the radicular apex, which remains distinct throughout germination and through anticlinal divisions gives rise to the epidermis; the procambium, which matures into a simple vascular strand in the mature radicle; the ground meristem, which matures into the cortex; and the promeristem, from which the procambium and ground meristem are derived.
