Physiological Predetermination: Imbibition, Respiration, and Growth of Lima Bean Seeds

L W Woodstock et al. Science. .

Abstract

Temperatures 15 degrees C or lower during the first hour of imbibition immediately inhibited respiration in lima beans, with proportional inhibition of subsequent growth of seedlings. Correlations between initial respiration rates and growth rates of seedlings were found in diferent lots of seeds.
