Various surgical cuts were used to induce germination of dormant barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus-galli(L.) Beauv. # ECHCG] caryopses. Greater percentages of germination were obtained when the cuts were made closer to the embryo. However, removal of only the caryopsis coat covering the coleoptile or midembryo axis induced up to 10% germination compared to 70% germination for caryopses with the coat covering the radicle removed. Dormancy of barnyardgrass was not caused by the inability of the embryo to imbibe, imposed mechanical resistance of the caryopsis coat, or presence of an inhibitor. A wounding response, other than ethylene production, by the cut caryopses was possibly responsible for stimulating germination. Similar responses to cutting observed in afterripened caryopses were consistent with the suggested hypothesis.

Induction of germination in dormant barnyardgrass seeds by wounding was investigated. Previous research indicated that a volatile compound was emitted during imbibition of wounded caryopses. When wounded caryopses were submerged in agar, total germination and speed of germination were stimulated, and the stimulation was dependent upon the concentration of agar. A twofold increase in germination occurred in 1% agar versus water, and a fivefold increase with caryopses placed in 5% agar. When wounded caryopses were imbibed, there was a fourfold increase in respiration over that of intact caryopses after 1 h. This increased rate of respiration of wounded caryopses continued for 7 h, while there was a gradual increase in respiration of intact caryopses. Carbon dioxide induced intact dormant caryopses to germinate but was not effective in stimulating germination of the seed (spikelet). High levels of abscisic acid found in the hulls of dormant seeds may have prevented the action of carbon dioxide. These results suggest that increased respiration resulting from wounding provides elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the microenvironment of the seed, thus stimulating germination. Removal of the hulls is necessary for germination even in high levels of carbon dioxide.

The stimulation of lightwood formation (oleoresin soaking) in Pinusresinosa Ait. treated with the bipyridylium salt, paraquat (1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridylium dichloride), affected various physiological parameters. Respiration, transpiration, and ethylene synthesis were markedly increased and were correlated with the increased production of rosin and turpentine. Photosynthesis, however, was severely inhibited, and phloem transport was not necessary for oleoresin deposition. These marked changes in function reflect a typical wounding response. Ethylene (supplied as Ethrel (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid)) was capable of replacing the stimulatory effect of paraquat, with a 14-fold increase in rosin over controls and a 25-fold increase in turpentine. This increase in turpentine content was accomplished by a significant enhancement in β-pinene content. Ethrel-treated trees also showed an increased abietic acid content, with a concomitant decrease in levopimaric acid.
