Drought Stresses on Seed Germination and Early Growth of Maize and Sorghum (2019, background): “Polyethylene glycol with molecular mass of 6000 or more are non-penetrable and non-toxic osmotic substance which can be used to lower the water potential of the germination environmental and it has been used to simulate controlled drought stress in nutrient solution cultures (Zhu et al., 2006).”
Physiological and morphological response to drought stress in seedlings of ten citrus (2016, background): “Zhu et al. (2006), showed that the seeds did not germinate when PEG concentration reached more than 25 % (soil water potential -1.35 MPa) in pinus.”
