Re: Releasing seed germination inhibitors and breaking thermodormancy
I wasn't aware that apples produced ethylene (or ethene given its IUPAC name), at what point do they produce ethene? I always thought that bananas produce ethene when ripening, which stimulates the ripening of other bananas and indeed other fruit.
Wouldn't it be more logical to put a few banana seeds in a bag with a ripening banana?
As for sikkimensis, bloomin things, can't get them to germinate for love nor money. I'll try the ethene root, worth a go.
