Abstract:
:Because of a hard seed coat, entirely preventing absorption of water in desert species ofSida, germination is rendered impossible or difficult under laboratry conditions. This block was eliminated by high temperature pretreatments to ensure better germination. The seeds could tolerate extremely high temperatures for sufficiently longer durations without affecting the germination process.
