Phylogenetic trends in TZ staining analysis of six deep dormancy seeds.
The assessment of seed quality and physiological potential is essential in seed production and crop breeding. In the process of rapid detection of seed viability using tetrazolium (TZ) staining, it is necessary to spend a lot of labour and material resources to explore the pretreatment and staining methods of hard...Peng, Chen Yin ; Wu, Yu ; Huang, Wen Hui ; Deng, Zhi Yun ; Sun, Xiao Rui …

Plant pollen and spores as sources of ice nucleating particles.
