18 Temperature gradient plate GRD1 Temperature gradient plate for seed germination efficacy testing

Temperature gradient plate Highly efficient bi-directional temperature gradient system for investigating responses to temperature shifts of seeds, small plants, insects, micro-organisms or any small component or material. The design is based on the fact that a temperature gradient results if one edge of a square aluminium plate is heated and the opposite edge is cooled. Temperature gradient plate Temperature gradient plate » GRD1 The gradient runs in one direction for part of the 24 hour cycle and can then be automatically switched to run at a right angle to its original direction for the remainder...

Temperature gradient plate Temperature gradient plate » GRD1 Applications of the GRD1 Based on studies carried out at the University of Reading, UK seed dormancy Dormant seeds often require moist storage (stratification) to help break their dormancy. The GRD1 can help to quantify temperature effects in seeds during warm stratification as carried out by Kebreab & Murdoch, (1999a). germination at constant temperatures The GRD1 allows germination tests to be carried out over a very wide range of temperatures for both dormant and non-dormant seeds. Interaction with other factors such as water stress...
