Genecological studies on Japanese lawn grass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) with special reference to the seed propagation characteristics, 4: Germination of seeds from representative clones

Some laboratory experiments were conducted to examine the germination response of Zoysia japonica in relation to the seed dormancy. The seed used were derived from the representative clones categorized previously into the three population groups taking the germinability of the seeds into account, that is easy , intermediate, and difficult. These seeds were given the cool-dry storage for 30-36 months after harvest
