. calvescens in water for 16 h increased the number of full seeds that germinated without CS ( Kim et al., 2017 ), suggesting that physiological dormancy is not deep and dormancy inducing substance(s) present in the seedcoat may have been leached out. X
to trichomes developed on the seedcoat, soaking Pulsatilla seeds in water to separate full, viable seeds from empty, nonviable seeds, as demonstrated with Corylopsis coreana Uyeki seeds ( Kim et al., 2017 ), could not be performed. Germination of
full, viable seeds with developed vegetative organs (full seed) from empty, nonviable seeds, as demonstrated in Corylopsis coreana Uyeki seeds ( Kim et al., 2017 , 2018 ), could not be evaluated. X-ray imaging may be useful to distinguish full seeds
introduced in late 1980s and early 1990s ( Baldwin, 1993 ; Hummel, 1991 ). Hummel (1991) investigated seed coatings that included starter fertilizer and the fungicide metalaxyl at full and half seeding rates of creeping bentgrass and perennial ryegrass. He
