The distribution and seasonal dynamics of cyst populations ofthe spring bloom dinoflagellate Scrippsiella hangoei were studiedin surface sediments on the southwest coast of Finland, BalticSea. In situ germination was assessed by monitoring the fractionof empty cysts and chlorophyll a fluorescence in cyst populationsat different coastal sites throughout the annual cycle. Scrippsiellahangoei resting cysts were widely distributed in the study areaand occurred in exceptionally large numbers (magnitudes of 104–106cysts cm–3) at all sampling locations between the innermostparts of the coastal archipelago and the open Gulf of Finland.The decreases in cyst number in winter and the increases occurringin late spring reflected the dynamics of germination and encystmentof the species. Chlorophyll fluorescence appeared in mid-winterin ~40% of cysts from well-aerated basins and 6–15% ofcysts from temporarily anoxic sediments. A generally low increasein the proportion of empty cysts indicated that only a partof the potentially germinable cysts actually germinates. Giventhe high cyst concentrations in the sediments, the potentialfor germination is considerable, despite the environmentallyand physiologically determined losses. In contrast, the sizeof the vegetative inoculum is very low, indicating that thesurvival of germlings is problematic under harsh winter conditions.This is an unusual life cycle strategy; however, the early releaseof cells into the water column provides a high probability forsuccessful bloom initiation under the unpredictable meteorologicalconditions in winter and early spring, which often lead to thesudden onset of favourable growth conditions.  相似文献

Scrippsiella hangoei (Schiller) Larsen is a peridinoid dinoflagellate that grows during winter and spring in the Baltic Sea. In culture this species formed round, smooth cysts when strains were mixed, indicating heterothallic sexuality and hypnozygote production. However, cysts of the same morphology were also formed in clonal strains exposed to slightly elevated temperature. To better understand the role of cysts in the life cycle of S. hangoei, cyst formation and dormancy were examined in culture experiments and the cellular DNA content of flagellate cells and cysts was compared in clonal and mixed strains using flow cytometry. S. hangoei exhibited a high rate of cyst formation in culture. Cysts produced in both clonal and mixed strain cultures were thick‐walled and underwent a dormancy period of 4 months before germinating. The S. hangoei flagellate cell population DNA distributions consisted of 1C, intermediate, and 2C DNA, indicative of respective eukaryotic cell cycle phases G1, S, and G2M. The majority (>95%) of cysts had a measured DNA content equivalent to the lower 1C DNA value, indicating a haploid nuclear phase and an asexual mode of cyst formation. A small percentage (<5%) of cysts produced in the mixed strain culture had 2C DNA, and thus could have been diploid zygotes. These findings represent the first measurements of dinoflagellate resting cyst DNA content, and provide the first quantitative evidence for dinoflagellate asexual resting cysts. Asexual resting cysts may be a more common feature of dinoflagellate life cycles than previously thought.  相似文献

Light and temperature control of germination in Agropyron smithii seeds   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
In darkness, A. smithii seeds germinated poorly at constanttemperatures but well at alternating temperatures. Prolongedperiods on the high part of the temperature cycles reduced germination;the higher the temperature the shorter was the period requiredon the high part of the temperature cycles for optimum germination.Continuous, unfiltered, incandescent illumination and intermittentfar red at 15?–25?C alternation also inhibited germination;the inhibitory effects were similar to those caused by the highintensity reaction. Far red inhibited germination when appliedafter 1 and 2 complete 15?–25?C cycles in darkness butnot after 3 cycles. Less than 20% of the seeds were under phytochromecontrol at constant 20?C. When red light was applied directlyafter far red that was applied in intermittent cycles at 15?–25?C,however, 50% of the seeds caused to germinate by the alternatingtemperature were shown to be controlled by the reversible phytochromereaction. The induced high-temperature dormancy was overcome by gibberellicacid (GA3) plus kinetin. The hormonal treatment was much moreeffective than light for breaking dormancy. Inhibition fromprolonged illumination was alleviated or eliminated by GA3+kinetin.The failure of red light to promote good germination at 20?Cwas also overcome with GA3+kinetin; effects of light plus thehormone treatments were more than additive. These data suggestthat optimum alternating temperatures facilitate a proper balanceand interaction of hormones, enzymes, substrates and possiblypreexistent Pfr so that the germination of A. smithii seedscan proceed without benefit of a light treatment.

A sediment trap study was conducted at Daya Bay, South ChinaSea, to investigate the relationships between encystment andpopulation dynamics of Scrippsiella trochoidea from December1999 to January 2001. A dense bloom of S. trochoidea occurredduring the study period from August to September 2000, withthe maximum cell number of 3.18 x 104 cells mL–1.Two morphotypes of cysts, one with a thick calcareous wall (calcifiedcyst) and another without the obvious calcareous cover (non-calcifiedcyst), were observed during this investigation. The morphologicaland excystment characteristics of these two cyst types werestudied as well. Mass encystments of S. trochoidea, with themaximum of 3.05 x 105 cysts m–2 d–1for calcified cyst, and 1.54 x 107 cysts m–2 d–1for non-calcified cyst, coincided with the maximum abundanceof the vegetative cells. Encystment caused the transfer of atotal of 2.24–4.49 x 108 cells m–2 vegetativecells from the water column to the sea bottom during the bloomand resulted in a considerable loss of the bloom population.High assemblages of cysts of S. trochoidea were detected inthe surface sediments as well. This rich ‘seed bed’in the surface sediments caused by the high efficiency of encystmentafter blooms acting as a benthic reservoir for future vegetativepopulation, together with the short dormant period (15–26days) and high germination rate (50–90%), may explainthe repeated occurrence of S. trochoidea blooms in Daya Bay.  相似文献

Scrippsiella rotunda and Scrippsiella trochoidea var. aciculifera (order Peridiniales, subfamily Calciodinelloideae) are autotrophic orthoperidinioid dinoflagellates producing calcareous resting cysts which are at times abundant in coastal marine sediments. We have carried out laboratory experiments to investigate features of cyst germination in the two species, including dormancy length, germination pattern and germination success, over an annual cycle and under different light and temperature conditions. The maturation period for S. rotunda cysts was between 17 and 24 weeks, while that of S. trochoidea var. aciculifera was much shorter, ranging between 2 and 5 weeks. Both species required exposure to light for germination, while temperature shifts (from 14 to 20C) in the dark did not induce excystment of mature cysts. In both species, germination was not synchronous, but distributed over a variable time interval, suggesting a high physiological diversity within the cyst pool. Moreover, exposure to light of S. rotunda cysts that had not completed maturation impaired the germination of a great percentage of the cysts. Differences in dormancy length may partially explain the distinct cyst production patterns observed for the two species in the Gulf of Naples.   相似文献

The rate of change in dormancy level and light requirement,induced during stratification at 3.2 °C, was investigatedin seeds ofStellaria media, Cerastium fontanum, Veronica agrestisandTaraxacumofficinale.Two stratification environments, soil and wet filterpaper in petri-dishes, were used. On nine occasions during a6 week stratification period, germination was tested under threelight conditions at 3.5/18.5 °C: (1) darkness; (2) light;and (3) short-term light exposure followed by darkness. Priorto stratification, germination in all species was 89% in lightand 53% in darkness. Within 2 weeks of stratification, germinabilityinV. agrestisandS. mediaseeds decreased in all treatments. InC.fontanumandT. officinaleseeds, germinability also decreasedafter 2 weeks but only in the dark treatment, indicating inductionof a light requirement. After two more weeks of stratification,the induced dormancy inS. mediaseeds stratified in soil becameweaker and the light requirement inT. officinaleseeds was lost.Differences between the two stratification environments and/orinteractions between light conditions, stratification environmentsand time were found for all species. These results suggest that:(1) the dormancy level and the light requirement of seeds maychange dramatically over relatively short-time periods duringstratification; and (2) germinability depends on the stratificationenvironment experienced by the seeds. Predicting the dormancylevel or light requirement in a seed batch is difficult andrequires a thorough knowledge of the effect of the stratificationconditions used.Copyright 1997 Annals of Botany Company Burial; Cerastium fontanumBaumg.; chickweed; cold stratification; common mouse-ear; dandelion; dormancy; light requirement; seed; Stellaria media(L.)

Seeds of 19 native British herbaceous species (14 grasses andfive forbs) were exposed to white light at three photon fluencerates: high (19–2 mol m–2 d–1), medium (9·6mol m–1 d–1) and low (2·3 mol m–2 d–2) These photon doses have been found by previous workers to inhibitgermination in several species. High and low photon doses wereapplied only as continuous light, but the medium dose was appliedas both continuous light and as a 12 h light/12 h dark photoperiod.All four treatments, plus a dark control, were carried out at15 °C; the high and low doses were also applied with a dailyalternation of 10/20 °C. The majority of species (15) fell into one of two groups. Inseven species germination was relatively high and consistentacross all treatments, including darkness; in the other eightspp germination was inhibited only in darkness. Mostly thesedata confirmed published results for the same species In contrast in Agrostis capillaris and A. stolonifera germinationwas high only at alternating temperatures, irrespective of photondose, but was also slightly promoted by a constant temperaturecombined with light/dark alternations. Only in Bromus sterilisand B. ereclus was germination inhibited by light, in B. erectusat all photon doses and in B. sterilis only at the highest photondose These results suggest that inhibition of germination by highirradiance light is not widespread among native British species Aira caryophyllea, Arrenatherum elatius, Festuca ovina, F. rubra, Hordeum murinum, Milhim effusum, Silene dioica, Achillea millefolium, Brachypodium syhaticum, Digitalis purpurea, Holcus lanatus, Leucanlhemum vulgare, Phleum pratense, Poa trivialis, Taraxacum officinale, Agrostis capillaris, A. stolonifera, Bromus erectus, B. sterilis, seed, dormancy, germination, light, High irradiance reaction, alternating temperatures, photoperiod  相似文献

大亚湾海域锥状斯氏藻孢囊形成与萌发的季节变化   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
锥状斯氏藻(Scrippsiella trochoidea)是南海大亚湾海域优势甲藻。为了解该藻孢囊形成和萌发动态及其对营养细胞种群动态的影响,2001年1月-2002年1月在大亚湾澳头海域用沉积物捕捉器及TFO重力采泥器对其孢囊进行每月一次的周年监测,同时对浮游植物、水温、盐度、溶解氧等也进行了监测。孢囊形成和萌发分别以沉积物捕捉器中的孢囊形成率以及上表层沉积物中空孢囊的百分比来表示。钙质孢囊和非钙质孢囊年平均形成率分别为1.11×104 cysts m-2d-1和2.13×105 cysts m-2d-1。前者在冬季大量形成,而后者在夏季形成较多。孢囊多在春秋季节萌发,夏季萌发较少,而冬季几乎不萌发。在5月份和10月份营养细胞数量峰形成前,孢囊的萌发出现了高峰,而表层沉积物中的孢囊数量及孢囊形成率则在营养细胞数量峰后大幅度上升。由此可见,大亚湾沉积物中该藻孢囊的萌发给水体提供了丰富的营养细胞,反之水体中高密度营养细胞又促使孢囊的大量形成,从而造成了锥状斯氏藻赤潮在大亚湾海域接连发生。  相似文献

Cysts of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense (Lebour) Balech 1992 from the lower St. Lawrence estuary were used in a test of the following hypotheses: (1) cyst germination is triggered by a change in temperature, and (2) germination rate varies throughout the year and is controlled by a circannual internal biological clock. Results show that cyst germination was not affected significantly by temperature of incubation over the range 1°–16° C, and light showed no significant stimulation of germination. This is supported by the lack of effect of cyst incubation conditions during evaluation of the seasonal changes in germination rate (two temperatures: 4° and 15° C, and two light conditions: darkness and 150 μmol photons·m?2·s?1). Thus, direct environmental control through short-term increases in temperature and exposure to light has no effect on the germination of the cysts tested. The rate of germination, observed monthly over a 16-month period, showed low germination (<20%) over most of the period tested, except for a maximum reaching more than 50% germination in August to October of the second year of the experiment. This pattern was observed for cysts both from monthly field collections and from laboratory-stored cysts kept under constant environmental conditions (4° C, in the dark). The peak in germination observed under constant environmental conditions (in the laboratory), the almost coincidental increase in cyst germination observed for the field-collected cysts, and the absence of effects of temperature and light during incubation could be explained either by a temperature-controlled cyst maturation period (the time-temperature hypothesis of Huber and Nipkow 1923) or by the presence of an internal biological clock. However, the large decline in the rate of germination 2 months after the maximum provides strong support for the biological clock hypothesis. The ca. 12-month maturation (dormancy) period observed for the laboratory-stored cysts is the longest reported for this species to our knowledge; this might be related to the low storage temperature (4° C), which is close to bottom temperatures generally encountered in this environment (0° to 6° C). Similar field and laboratory storage temperatures could explain the coincidental increase in germination rate in the fall of the second year if cyst maturation is controlled by temperature. A fraction of the laboratory-stored cysts did not follow a rhythmic pattern: A rather constant germination rate of about 20% was observed throughout the year. This continuous germination of likely mature cysts may supplement the local blooms of this toxic dinoflagellate, as these often occur earlier than peak germination observed in late summer. It seems that two cyst germination strategies are present in the St. Lawrence: continuous germination after cyst maturation, with temperature controlling the length of the maturation period, and germination controlled by a circannual internal rhythm.  相似文献

A recurrent Alexandrium minutum bloom in the Arenys de Mar harbour(Catalan coast, North Western Mediterranean) was monitored inorder to establish the relationship between vegetative cellsand cyst production. The bloom lasted from January 21 to February24, 2002 and reached cell concentrations of up to 47 x 106 cellL–1. Two aspects related to the resting cysts depositionwere studied: (i) production of resting cysts during the bloomperiod (by means of sediment traps) and (ii) distribution ofresting cysts in the sediment after the bloom (May 2002). Cystformation in Arenys clearly started in a period with high vegetativecell densities in the water column. Once production was initiatedencystment fluxes remained constant for two weeks, and coveringthe periods of maintenance and decline of the bloom. High cystfluxes (up to 6000 cysts cm–2 day–1) were quantifiedas a result of the high vegetative cell concentration. Moreover,encystment occurring in less than 1% of the total populationindicates that most of the cells are not involved in restingcysts formation. A comparison of the resting cyst flux valuesobtained from the sediment traps and the resting cyst concentrationsin surface sediment (628–3270 cysts cm–3) threemonths later, revealed that the number of cysts in the sedimentdecreased during that time. The studies of excystment showeda high germination percentage (91%) and germling viability (100%).These data, together with the resting cyst distribution in thesediment, are important in assessing the role of resting cystsin the bloom dynamics of A. minutum in confined waters.  相似文献

The yellow horned-poppy Glaucium flavum Crantz shows a finaldark germination which is of characteristically ‘mediterranean’type (maximal response at the temperature range 5–15 °C),though a considerable broadening is brought about, both by ared light pulse and a stratification treatment. Seeds imbibedin darkness at 25 °C for even a few hours are induced todevelop a secondary dormancy (thermodormancy) which can be releasedby light and stratification. The well known time dependenceof light sensitivity and the gradually imposed induction oflight indifference at supraoptimal temperatures have also beenshown. Seeds imbibed under regimes simulating those met naturallyin Greece during November or April, do not germinate when illuminatedwith white light (  相似文献

Seasonal Periodicity in Germination of Seeds of Chenopodium album L.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Seeds of Chenopodium album L. were buried under field and controlledconditions. The germination capacity of these seeds was testedover a range of conditions at regular intervals. Seed buriedin the field only showed small seasonal changes in germinationcapacity when tested at constant temperatures in incubators.However, when germination was tested at field temperatures,seasonal changes in germination were more obvious. Nitrate andlight always promoted germination. There was a strong positiveinteraction between the effects of the two factors. When nitrateand light were combined, exhumed seeds germinated over a muchlonger period of the year than in water with or without light.Desiccation only stimulated under particular conditions, forexample, when germination was tested in nitrate in darkness.A regression model was developed with the data from the germinationtests in incubators. The model describes the changes in dormancyand germination and estimates germination at field temperaturesaccurately throughout the year. Despite the absence of clearseasonal changes in the temperatures suitable for germination(computed with the model), germination in the field showed seasonalperiodicity, because the field temperature and the germination-temperaturerange only overlapped from spring to late summer.Copyright 1993,1999 Academic Press Chenopodium album, lamb's quarters, dormancy pattern, germination, regression model, temperature, light, nitrate, desiccation  相似文献

Cyclamen persicum Mill, seeds germinate in a narrow range oftemperature and germination is strongly inhibited by continuousirradiation with white light. The thermal optimum is approx.15 °C in both darkness and light. Seed germination is alsovery sensitive to oxygen deprivation and this sensitivity ismore pronounced at 20 °C than at the optimum 15 °C.Very immature seeds cannot germinate at any temperature, butgerminability increases during seed maturation Seedling development is unusual since seed reserves are usedimmediately for tuber formation. Tuberization is optimal at15–20 °C in light and in darkness. Supra-optimal temperatures(25–30 °C) or hypoxia inhibit tuber formation andlead to very elongated tubers These results allow the producers to improve the productionof homogeneous populations of cyclamen seedlings Wheat seeds, Triticum aestwum L., acetylcholinesterase, electrophoresis, germination, assay  相似文献

The chain-forming dinoflagellate Gynmodinium catenatum Grahamcauses recurrent outbreaks of paralytic shellfish poisoning(PSP) in the Galician Rias Bajas (northwest Spain). A sedimentsurvey in Ria de Vigo in April 1986 indicated that the highestconcentrations of cysts of this species were located in themiddle sections of the ria, with maximum abundance of 310 cystscm–3. The effects of temperature, growth medium compositionand irradiance on the germination of laboratory-produced restingcysts were investigated. Newly formed cysts required very littletime for maturation, as excystment was possible within 2 weeksof encystment. Growth media did not affect germination success.In contrast, the excystment rate was retarded signifiantly indarkness. Germination was also strongly affected by temperature,with {small tilde}75% excystment success at 22–28°Cand little or no germination below 11°C after 1 month ofincubation. In culture, the optimum growth rate of vegetativecells was between 22 and 28°C, the highest rate being 0.53divisions day–1 at 24°C. Growth did not occur at temperatures< 11°C or >30°C. These results are important withrespect to the different hypotheses proposed to explain theinitiation of G.catenatum blooms in the Galician Rias Bajasand Northern Portugal. The pattern of G.catenatum bloom developmentalong this coast has been related to seasonal upwelling in thearea, with major blooms occurring during the autumn as warmeroffshore surface water is transported towards the coast whenupwelling relaxes. The landward transport of established offshorepopulations of G.catenatum with the warm surface layer remainsa viable explanation for the observed blooms within the rias,but alternatively, our data suggest that cysts within the riascan provide the inoculum population at times conducive to growthand bloom formation. Even though newly formed G.catenatum cystshave a very short maturation time and can germinate in darknessacross a wide temperature range, bloom development will be significantonly during the late summer and early autumn, since in othermonths light levels at the sediment surface and temperaturesthroughout the water column are too low for significant germinationor growth.  相似文献

High‐biomass blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Pyrodinium bahamense occur most summers in Tampa Bay, Florida, USA, posing a recurring threat to ecosystem health. Like many dinoflagellates, P. bahamense forms immobile resting cysts that can be deposited on the seafloor—creating a seed bank that can retain the organism within the ecosystem and initiate future blooms when cysts germinate. In this study, we examined changes in the dormancy status of cysts collected from Tampa Bay and applied lessons from plant ecology to explore dormancy controls. Pyrodinium bahamense cysts incubated immediately after field collection displayed a seasonal pattern in dormancy and germination that matched the pattern of cell abundance in the water column. Newly deposited (surface) cysts and older (buried) cysts exhibited similar germination patterns, suggesting that a common mechanism regulates dormancy expression in new and mature cysts. Extended cool‐ and warm‐temperature conditioning of field‐collected cysts altered the cycle of dormancy compared with that of cysts in nature, with the duration of cool temperature exposure being the best predictor of when cysts emerged from dormancy. Extended warm conditioning, on the other hand, elicited a return to dormancy, or secondary dormancy, in nondormant cysts. These results directly demonstrate environmental induction of secondary dormancy in dinoflagellates—a mechanism common and thoroughly documented in higher plants with seasonal growth cycles. Our findings support the hypothesis that a seasonal cycle in cyst germination drives P. bahamense bloom periodicity in Tampa Bay and point to environmentally induced secondary dormancy as an important regulatory factor of that cycle.  相似文献

1. The seeds ofNasturtium palustreDC. do not germinate, eitherin the light or darkness, at various constant temperatures,but require for their full germination a certain period of alow temperature (5°) applied immediately after light irradiation.These results indicate the existance of at least two processes,a light-dependent process and a low temperature-requiring process,in the initiation of germination ofNasturtiumseeds. Experimentalevidence indicated further that the light exposure causes twodifferent processes in the seed germination. 2. When a dark period at 23° was inserted between the lightirradiation and the low temperature treatment the germinationwas suppressed. The inhibitory effect of the inserted dark periodat 23° was eliminated by a short irradiation during thedarkness (light-break). 3. Prolonged exposure ofNasturtium seeds to any concentrationof gibberellin brought about no germination when exposure wasgiven in complete darkness. The germination was promoted onlywhen light irradiation was applied to the seeds. A short applicationof gibberellin at a fairly high concentration was, however,remarkably effective for the germination even in the darkness,and the germination was inhibited as the gibberellin applicationwas lengthened. It was considered that gibberellin could substitutefor the combined effect of light irradiation and low temperaturetreatment to induce the germination of Nasturtium seeds, andthat gibberellin was inhibitive toward the reactions followingthe above treatments which induced the germination (Received October 31, 1996; )  相似文献

Leymus arenarius is used to stabilize the extensive areas oferoded volcanic sand in Iceland, both inland and on the coast.It has been reported previously to produce seeds of generallylow viability. We investigated the potential for seed dormancyand the responses of germination to temperature, light and salinity,as part of a re-assessment aimed at improving reclamation procedures. Contrary to previous reports, high rates of germination couldbe obtained under certain conditions. All caryopses were soakedin water (24 h) and stratified for 2 weeks (5 °C) beforethe subsequent germination tests. Constant temperatures or exposureto light resulted in very poor germination. Close to 100% germinationcould be obtained within 2 weeks in continuous darkness, underalternating temperatures with an amplitude of 10-20 °C ona 12 h cycle; high day temperatures appear to be important.Diurnal fluctuations in temperature of this order occurred underaverage weather conditions in the black, volcanic sands in Icelandduring the growing season (May-Sep.). The dark requirement isinterpreted as a selective response to the adverse conditionsfor establishment at the surface of the sand; the alternatingtemperature requirement may be a response to ensure dormancyunder deep burial with accreting sand, although it could havea role in gap-sensing under established canopies. Scarification,surface sterilization and treatment with n -butanol or KNO3were all generally ineffective in promoting germination. Nearlyall caryopses that did not germinate, in all treatments, remainedviable. Caryopses of coastal populations of Leymus arenarius showedsignificantly higher total germination and more rapid germinationin 100 mmol l-1 and 300 mmol l-1 NaCl solutions than inlandpopulations. The inhibition of germination by salinity was anosmotically enforced dormancy effect rather than a lethal, toxicone; caryopses that had not germinated in saline solution generallywere able to germinate subsequently, when transferred to non-salineconditions.Copyright 1994, 1999 Academic Press Germination, Leymus arenarius (lymegrass), Triticeae, survival analysis, fluctuating temperature, sand stabilization, salinity tolerance, Iceland  相似文献

Spirodela polyrrhiza exhibits at least two different types ofdormancy in turions induced by nitrogen deficiency, i.e., Y(young)- and O (old)-type turions produced at early and latestages in the formation process, respectively. On the otherhand, turions induced by relatively low temperature are mainlythe Y type. O-type turions germinate rapidly under darkness with the additionof NO3-. However, under semi-anaerobic and anaerobic conditionsthey germinate only when exposed to light in the presence ofNO3-. Y-type turions germinate in air after a definite dormant periodonly under light and in the presence of NO3-. The dormancy isbroken by light regardless of the presence of NO3-, althoughthe germination phase requires both. This dormancy is also brokenwhen a definite period of darkness is given in the absence ofNO3-, and the germination proceeds in the presence of NO3- withor without light. Thus, an alternative process exists for theY type in which the dormancy is released by either light ordarkness. (Received October 3, 1978; )  相似文献

Seeds of Jussiaea suffruticosa reach high germination percentagesonly when exposed to long periods of continuous illumination.The light reaction may be repeatedly reversed by short exposuresto red and far red light, thus being mediated by the phytochromesystem. Seeds also germinate at high percentages if exposedto various cycles of 1 hr light and 24 hr of darkness at 20°C.If the temperature in the periods of darkness is raised up to30°C or lowered to 10°C the promotive effect of lightis inhibited. High temperatures (35°C) during imbibitionhave a promotive effect, whereas a pure O2 atmosphere decreasesthe response to light. KNO3 and kinetin enhance the responseto light but do not provoke germination in the dark. Only ifseed coats are punctured or removed does germination in thedark occur.
