In the second week of this study, the germination index was again higher for the treatment groups of trimmed globba seeds than for the untrimmed control. This is compatible with results from the research of Jala (2011), Ellis and Robert (1981), Hangarter (1996), Warpeha and Kaufman (1989) and Winslow (1999), who reported that many plant species respond to the environment with optimal growth and development according to the
was higher for the bare embryo seed group than for either trimmed or intact seeds, with a statistically significantly difference among treatments (naked >trimmed >intact).
