Dehydration tolerance in spring wheat seeds

Abstract

Studies performed on seeds of several cultivars of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var.lutescens) revealed differences in the studied seed dehydration tolerance affecting seed germination and seedling emergence. Among the cultivars studied, seeds of Kolibri showed capability to maintain both high germination energy and high emergence rate at diminished water potential of the environment. Seed dehydration tolerance was increased when the parent plants were subjected to drought.
