Hi Folks,
Re: Kathleen's question about the lack of lettuce seed germination in fruit
juice: It seems to me that the low pH of the juices mentioned could more than
account for the observed inhibitory effect on germination. Although seed
germination is very certainly sensitive to ABA, it's also often sensitive to
pH. Have a good weekend!
