Seed moisture content affects afterripening and smoke responsiveness in three sympatric Australian native species from fire-prone environments

Germination of freshly collected seeds of three sympatric herbaceous species native to fire-prone environments in south-western Australia was significantly improved through the application of novel combinations of dry heat, gibberellic acid, smoke water and dry afterripening. For fresh seeds, combin...
