Effects of temperature, germination stimulant and alternating light/dark or constant dark treatments on mean germination (± s.e., n = 4) of intact florets and cleaned seeds of six Australian Triodia species. Intact florets or cleaned seeds were incubated at temperatures between 10 and 40 °C on either water or KAR₁ (0.67 μm) agar plates and exposed to 12 h alternating light/dark conditions, or constant dark by wrapping plates in aluminium foil for 28 d.
