germination
Hello,
I believe that some seeds can tolerate a bit of light as they germinate, whereas others cannot. What happens to the light-intolerant seeds that stops them from germinating? Thank you, Gerard McConnell |

What happens to the light-intolerant seeds that stops them from germinating? Thank you, Gerard McConnell Interesting question Gerard - I've wondered about it my self in the past and your question prompted me to go a googling....... :~) http://generalhorticulture.tamu.edu/...ght/light.html has : 4) seed germination in light requiring seeds Some seeds will only germinate in the light, therefore sow on surface to see sunlight. a) sunlight and any white or red light causes germination; (causes Pfr form to be present) b) far red light inhibits germination (causes Pr form to be present) Which does not really answer your (or my) question. Hopefully somebody else (Nick McC ??) might know the answer......... Jenny |

Thank you, Super seed germination guide at: http://www.backyardgardener.com/tm.html This is probably a good time and place to remind folks who haven't already bookmarked it - I think it's based on the old Thompson & Morgan booklet.
