| Résumé : |
"The effect of temperature on the level of dormancy of primary and secondary dormant Carex pendula and Carex remota seeds was investigated. Primary dormant and secondary dormant seeds were stratified for 4 weeks at 5, 11, 13, and 15 °C, respectively, and tested for germination at 15/5 °C in light. To obtain secondary dormant seeds, primary dormant seeds were stratified at 5 °C and afterwards at 25 °C for 4 weeks. Germination tests were carried out in water and in 25 μmol KNO3-solution to examine differences in sensitivity to nitrate between seeds relieved from primary and secondary dormancy. In both species, seeds with primary and with induced secondary dormancy showed no significant differences in germination. The two sedges showed significant differences in the effect of stratification temperatures between primary and secondary dormant seeds. Primary dormant seeds of C. pendula showed high germination (>80%) in nitrate-solution after stratification at all temperatures, while only temperatures of 5, 11, and 13 °C led to higher germination in nitrate-solution in secondary dormant seeds. Germination percentages of primary and of secondary dormant C. pendula seeds in water increased to a higher extent only after stratification at 5 and 11 °C; stratification of 11 °C was more effective in secondary than in primary dormant seeds. The only temperature that relieved primary dormancy in C. remota seeds was 5 °C where germination in water and nitrate-solution was >90%. Germination of secondary dormant seeds was increased by stratification at 11 °C independent of the test solution but higher germination after stratification at 13 °C occurred only in nitrate-solution. The results support the existence of physiological differences in the regulation of primary and secondary dormancy by temperature, and in the reaction of nitrate, at least in C. remota."
