Suppressive Effects of Low Seed-Soaking Temperatures on Germination of Long-Term-Stored Rice Seeds

Abstract: We investigated the effects of soaking temperature and duration on the germinability of seeds of rice (Oryza sativa L., cv. Koganemochi, Gohyakumangoku, and Koshihikari) that had been stored for a long period. The germinability of the seeds soaked at 5ºC for 5 d was markedly lower than tha...
