A loose endosperm structure of wheat seed produced under low nitrogen level promotes early germination by accelerating water uptake
Abstract Water uptake is the fundamental requirement for the initiation and completion of seed germination that is a vital phase in the life cycle of seed plants. We found that seeds produced under four nitrogen levels showed significantly different germination speed. The objective of this study was...
