Seed Imbibition Percentage

Description

Imbibition causes seeds to expand, which results in the seed coat or testa being broken. Seed germination begins with imbibition. Imbibition aids in the transport of water into the developing ovules. Imbibition is required during the first stages of root water absorption. Imbibition percentage of seeds was calculated using the following formula (Govender et al., 2008) <doi:10.1016/j.sajb.2007.10.006>

Usage

seed_imbib(wt_of_seed_after_imbib, initial_wt_of_seed)

Arguments

wt_of_seed_after_imbib

Weight of seeds after imbibition

initial_wt_of_seed

Initial weight of seeds

Value

Seed Imbibition Percentage
