A hydrothermal after-ripening time model for seed dormancy loss in Bromus tectorum L. (2006, background): “Shifts in Cb(50) above the water potential of the imbibition medium can explain germination behaviours such as dormancy cycling (Bradford, 2002), as well as the delay and inhibition of seed germination in the supra-optimal temperature range (Bauer et al., 1998; Shrestha et al., 1999; Meyer et al., 2”
A framework for the interpretation of temperature effects on dormancy and germination in seed populations showing dormancy (2015, background): “In contrast, germination data analysis showed that Tc values are distributed within the seed population (Covell et al., 1986; Ellis et al., 1986; Alvarado and Bradford, 2002), although common Tc values for all seeds have been reported as well (Garcı́a-Huidobro et al.”
Applications of hydrotime analysis in seed testing (2004, background): “There is considerable evidence now that this is essentially what happens in dormant seeds (Bradford, 1997; 2002; Meyer et al., 2000; Alvarado and Bradford, 2002).”
Seed dormancy and the control of germination. (2006, background): “Each seed in the distribution will respond by the extent to which ambient conditions exceed their individual threshold sensitivity (Alvarado & Bradford, 2002).”
