that may affect crop emergence is seed size. Edamame seed mass is ≈30 g/100-seed compared with 15 to 20 g/100-seed for grain-type soybean ( Bernard, 2005 ; Dong et al., 2014 ; Williams, 2015 ). The literature is inconclusive on how seed size affects

, offshoots, or tissue culture, the vast majority of landscape palms are propagated by seeds. However, commercial production of many palm species is hampered by delayed and inconsistent germination. Such sporadic germination is often due to seed dormancy
