Germination Kinetics and Chlorophyll Fluorescence Imaging Allow for Early Detection of Alkalinity Stress in <i>Rhododendron</i> Species

Germination Kinetics and Chlorophyll Fluorescence Imaging Allow for Early Detection of Alkalinity Stress in <i>Rhododendron</i> Species

<i>Rhododendron</i> species are typical calcifuges that do not grow well in calcareous soils characterized by alkaline pH and high concentrations of Ca<sup>2+</sup>. In this study, we investigated the effects of three pH levels and a Ca<sup>2+</sup> treatment on t...
