Effect of plant growth regulators on ryegrass seed dormancy and germination. Seeds were exposed to plant growth regulators (PGR) (A) during germination conditions, either directly upon imbibition (non-stratified) or following 21 d dark or light stratification at 20 °C, or (B) during stratification, after which seeds were germinated in the absence of PGR. All PGRs were applied at 50 μM except for GA4, which was at 10 μM. Values are means ±SE (n=4). Data were analysed by two-factor ANOVA, and different letters above the bars indicate a significant difference at the 5% level. Pooled LSD values are: (A) 4.39, (B) 4.10. ABA, abscisic acid; GA3, gibberellic acid; GA4, gibberellin A4; F, fluridone; PB, paclobutrazol; DN, diniconazole.
