Title: Effect of red, far-red radiations on germination of cotton seed
Abstract:Seeds of two cultivars, H-14 and J-34 of Gossypium hirsutum L. soaked in the dark for durations of 8, 12 and 16 hr were exposed to red and far-red radiations alone and in different successions. While ...Seeds of two cultivars, H-14 and J-34 of Gossypium hirsutum L. soaked in the dark for durations of 8, 12 and 16 hr were exposed to red and far-red radiations alone and in different successions. While cv. J-34 was unresponsive to all light treatments, seed germinaiton in cv.H-14 was promoted by darkness and by exposure to far-red radiation and was inhibited by red andwhitelight. Seed germination depended upon what treatment was given at the end. The effect ofred light was reversed by far-red and vice versa. Although instances of light inhibition of seed germination are known, the authors are not aware of any clear cut instance in the literature on far-red promotion of seed germinationRead More
