RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 When Breaking Seed Dormancy Is a Problem JF Native Plants Journal JO NATIVE PLANTS JOURNAL FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 17 OP 21 DO 10.3368/npj.4.1.17 VO 4 IS 1 A1 Carol C Baskin A1 Jerry M Baskin YR 2003 UL http://npj.uwpress.org/content/4/1/17.abstract AB The move-along experiment is a double germination phenology study that is easy to use, does not require large numbers of seeds, and allows one to determine if summer only, winter only, or a summer-winter sequence of temperatures is required for dormancy break in seeds with water-permeable seed (or fruit) coats. Two temperature profiles (simulating 1-y cycles proceeding from winter to winter or summer to summer) and control treatments (seeds kept continuously at each temperature regime) are run concurrently. For most species, the combination of dormancy-breaking temperatures required for germination can be determined in 1 y with this technique.
