Abstract:The electrical conductivity test is a simple and rapid method for evaluating seed vigor. The aim of the present study was to optimize the electrical conductivity test for assessing the vigor of Melanoxylon brauna seeds by investigating the effects of seed number (25, 50, or 75), water volume (25, 50, or 75 mL), and soaking duration (24, 48, or 72 h). The seeds belonged to two lots (I and II) that were collected in 2010 and 2012, respectively, and were incubated in a germination chamber at 25 ºC. Electrical con… Show more
