Water is one of the essential requirements to start the germination process and should be supplied to seeds without oscillations to permit comparisons among laboratories. One way to achieve this is by means of a moist chamber for each experimental plot. Emanueli chamber is a low-cost device, designed to evaluate the germination process and the first phases of seedling development. Its advantage is that it reduces daily oscillations in the water content of the germination substrate (filter paper). It is made of two plastic cylindric containers. The larger contains water or other test solution and the smaller, bottomless, stays inside the larger one. The upper part of this smaller container is the support of the filter paper that is maintained uniform and constantly moistened by means of a continuous stem submerged in the liquid of the larger container.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
