- A Comparative Study of Germination Ecology of Four Papaver Taxa

TABLE 1. Origin of batches of Papaver seeds in southern Sweden during 2002

TABLE 2. Seasonal temperatures in annual cycles representing three different artificial climates: cold, intermediate and warm

TABLE 3. ANOVA of germination results of Papaver seeds collected 2002 in southern Sweden and subjected to five continuous temperature regimes for 900 d

Seeds of each taxon were collected from two populations and on two occasions, one seed batch was considered one replicate. Time was treated as a continuous variable with five independent points.

(1) P. argemone, P. rhoeas or P. dubium ssp. dubium; (2) 5/5, 15/5, 20/10, 25/15 or 30/20 °C, day/night; (3) light during daytime or continuous darkness; (4) summer or autumn.

TABLE 4. ANOVA of germination results of Papaver seeds collected 2002 in southern Sweden

The seeds were subjected to three different artificial climates for 900 d, with two different artificial times for dispersal (i.e. starting points in annual cycles). Seeds of each taxon were collected from two populations and on two occasions, one seed batch was considered one replicate. Time was treated as a continuous variable with five independent points.

(1) P. argemone, P. rhoeas or P. dubium ssp. dubium; (2) cold, intermediate or warm; (3) light during daytime or continuous darkness; (4) summer or autumn; (5) summer or autumn.
