Abstract:Winged bean seeds require imbibition treatment to ensure fast and uniform germination. Seed soaking has been commonly used; however, it is unclear if this is a safe method for winged bean seeds. Solid matrix priming (SMP) is an imbibition treatment that combines seeds, a matrix and water in a specific ratio. It allows seeds to imbibe under controlled water uptake. We investigated the effect of imbibition treatments on seed germination of white winged bean. Soaked seeds had significantly reduced germination and… Show more
