• Mean germination time estimates the relative emergence of seed lots of three cucurbit crops under stress conditions (2010, background): “Support for this repair hypothesis comes from the observation that a short period of imbibition followed by dehydration to the original moisture content can reduce the lag period and increase seedling size in seed lots of maize (Matthews and Khajeh-Hosseini, 2007).”
• Evaluation of seed quality: from physiology to international standardization (2011, background): “More recently, Matthews and Khajeh-Hosseini (2007) suggested that the extent of deterioration of seed lots determines the length of the lag period, or MGT.”
• Seed vigor testing: an overview of the past, present and future perspective (2015, unknown): “The extent of deterioration is directly proportional to the length of phase II of seed germination, i.e, the lag-phase (Matthews and Khajeh-Hosseini (2007), reflecting the longer period necessary for the action of metabolic repair mechanisms or indicating an incomplete repair.”
