Popis:	Priming tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) seeds in aerated -0.5 MPa polyethylene glycol (PEG) enhanced the emergence rate and the extent and percentage of embryo radicles protruding partially or completely through the seed endosperm. The radicles' growth, however, was arrested at the seedcoat. The time course of radicle protrusion through the endosperm of seeds in PEG for the first 24 hours paralleled that of seeds germinating in aerated water; however, radicle protrusion continued through the seedcoats of seeds germinating in water. The radicle of the high-vigor PI-341988 tomato line protruded more rapidly through the endosperm than that of the low-vigor ST-24 line.
