2. Petunia × atkinsiana - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petunia_×_atkinsiana

   Petunia seeds germinate in 5 to 15 days. Petunias can tolerate relatively harsh conditions and hot climates. They need at least five hours of sunlight every day. They grow well in low humidity, moist soil. Young plants can be grown from seeds. Petunias should be watered once every two to five days. In drier regions, the plants should be watered ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruellia_strepens

   Ruellia strepens, commonly known as limestone wild petunia, [2] limestone ruellia, [3] smooth wild petunia, [4] or wild petunia [5] is a species of flowering plant in the family Acanthaceae, native to warmer parts of the central and eastern United States.

4. Petunia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petunia

   Petunia is a genus of 20 species of flowering plants of South American origin. [1] The popular flower of the same name derived its epithet from the French, which took the word pétun, 'tobacco', from a Tupi–Guarani language. A tender perennial, most of the varieties seen in gardens are hybrids (Petunia × atkinsiana, also known as Petunia × ...

5. Seed dormancy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_dormancy

   True dormancy or inherent (or innate) dormancy is caused by conditions within the seed that prevent germination even if the conditions are favorable. [7] Imposed dormancy is caused by the external conditions that remain unsuitable for germination [8] Seed dormancy can be divided into two major categories based on what part of the seed produces dormancy: exogenous and endogenous. [9]

6. Plant senescence - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_senescence

   Seed germination performance is a major determinant of crop yield. Deterioration of seed quality with age is associated with accumulation of DNA damage. [6] In dry, aging rye seeds, DNA damages occur with loss of viability of embryos. [7] Dry seeds of Vicia faba accumulate DNA damage with time in storage, and undergo DNA repair upon germination ...

7. Germination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germination

   It is a measure of germination time course and is usually expressed as a percentage, e.g., an 85% germination rate indicates that about 85 out of 100 seeds will probably germinate under proper conditions over the germination period given. Seed germination rate is determined by the seed genetic composition, morphological features and ...
