The role of after-ripening in promoting germination of arid zone seeds: A study on six Australian species

The effects of after-ripening (storage under warm, dry conditions) on seed germination was examined in six plant species from the arid zone of Western Australia with the aim of improving germination and germination rate for rehabilitation objectives. Study species (Acanthocarpus preissii, Anthocerci...
