Base water potential but not hydrotime predicts seedling emergence of Medicago sativa under water stress conditions

We determined the hydrotime model parameters of 10 alfalfa seed lots by incubating seeds at various water potentials in the laboratory. Meanwhile, seedling emergence under drought and salinity conditions in a greenhouse pot experiment, and seedling establishment in the field were determined. Correla...
