Germination is one of the most sensitive phases in growth of agricultural
plants, where optimal conditions in temperature and water accessibility are
required. Seedlings are particularly sensitive to environmental stressors,
especially when maize lines are considered. They tend to germinate and grow
slower, have poorer adaptability to stress and seeds could lose germination
ability relative fast. Application of natural or synthetic substances could
increases maize vigor, particularly of seeds with poor viability. It is proven
that some stimulators positively affect growth, water absorption and
antioxidative response of plants [1-4]. The aim of experiment was to examine
the influence of four mixed tetraoxanes on germination and early growth
(seven-day old seedlings) of maize inbred line with low germination ability
(<50%).
