Abstract

Methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) inhibited or retarded germination of Amaranthus caudatus seeds in darkness at 24°C, Ethephon, ACC and gibberellins (GA3 or GA4+7) partially or completely reversed this inhibition depending on the concentration of JA-Me applied. Both ethephon and the gibberellins were more effective than ACC. Both GA3 and GA4+7 enhanced the stimulatory effect of ethephon or ACC on germination of seeds inhibited by JA-Me.
