Abstract
The text is intended for biologists and ecologists working with wild plant species. The article draws attention to possible methodological inaccuracies in determining seed germination and in various attempts to manipulate the seeds of wild plant species. The difference between seed germination in the laboratory and in the wild (in the field), basic principles of seed collection or selection, selection of test sample, basic parameters related to seed germination (seed germination, germination rate, mean germination time, germination index), and initial growth seedlings (seedling vitality index, R/S ratio) are described. The text aims to methodically clarify experiments related to seed germination and initial seedling growth, so different wild plant species can be better compared with each other.
期刊介绍：
Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca is a peer-reviewed biannual journal aimed at disseminating significant research and original papers, critical reviews and short reviews. The subjects refer on plant biodiversity, genetics and plant breeding, development of new methodologies that can be of interest to a wide audience of plant scientists in all areas of plant biology, agriculture, horticulture and forestry. The journal encourages authors to frame their research questions and discuss their results in terms of the major questions of plant sciences, thereby maximizing the impact and value of their research, and thus in favor of spreading their studies outcome. The papers must be of potential interest to a significant number of scientists and, if specific to a local situation, must be relevant to a wide body of knowledge in life sciences. Articles should make a significant contribution to the advancement of knowledge or toward a better understanding of existing biological and agricultural concepts. An international Editorial Board advises the journal. The total content of the journal may be used for educational, non-profit purposes without regard to copyright. The distribution of the material is encouraged with the condition that the authors and the source (Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca or JCR abbrev. title Not Bot Horti Agrobo) are mentioned.
