ABSTRACT ONE of the key problems in germination physiology is the mechanism of embryo ‘dormancy’ or rest. One aspect of this problem is the physiological dwarfing which has been reported to

occur in the seedlings of woody plants, especially of such commercial fruits as peaches. These seeds normally require an extended period of low-temperature after-ripening to permit

germination. However, if the seed-coat is removed from non-after-ripened seeds germination occurs, but the shoots of such plants are abnormal with telescoped internodes and leaves which may

be deformed or sometimes reduced to a rosette of white, scale-like appendages1,2; the exact symptoms are a varietal characteristic3. Low-temperature after-ripening of the seed or seedling is

commonly reported to be essential to produce a normal plant. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS
