| The aim of this work was to study the dynamics of seed germination of artichoke thistle (Cynara cardunculus L. var. altilis DC), a perennial herb that has been proposed as an energy crop for solid biofuels and other applications in the Mediterranean region, where it can be grown in dry lands. Crop establishment is crucial for perennials and in the case the cynara crop, it depends on the success of seed germination. In this work, the effects of the environmental factors: temperature, darkness/light exposure and water potential on cynara seed germination are studied. Results show that cynara seeds germinate best in dark and that low water potentials and low temperatures decrease seed germination. Optimal conditions for cynara germination combine darkness, 20-30ºC temperature and water potentials between 0 and -0.25 MPa. | |
