Abstract
Seed germination of Melampyrum lineare proceeds only after activation followed by an extended period of chilling. Up to one-third of seeds can be activated by storage at room temperature, while all seeds are activated if treated with gibberellic acid. Chilling before activation is ineffective.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
