Effects of temperature and osmotic potential on seed germination of Cleistogenes songorica and Plantago lessingii
温度和水分对无芒隐子草和条叶车前种子萌发的影响

Cleistogenes songorica and Plantago lessingii are important native plant species in the north-west desert grassland of China, and play a significant role in pasture production and vegetation restoration. Research on factors affecting germination of these species has not been reported previously. A series of laboratory tests were therefore conducted to study germination response of the two species to temperature and osmotic potential. The temperature regime for both species included 5 constant temperatures(1...
