Abstract
Seeds of Caesulia axillaris is Roxb. displayed an absolute light requi rement for germination after harvest and showed germination response w ith R, FR, R-FR, R-FR-R and B irradiations. The respiratory inhibitors salicylhydroxamic acid and sodium azide failed to break the dormancy of seeds in the dark. However, salicylhydroxamic acid caused 8% seed g ermination in the dark. Neverthless they enhanced the action of p(fr) as indicated by a significantly higher percentage germination of treat ed seeds in response to a single red irradiation.
