An Unexplored Diversity for Adaptation of Germination to High Temperatures in Brassica Species by M. Tiret, M.‐H. Wagner, L. Gay, E. Chenel, A. Dupont, C. Falentin, L. Maillet, F. Gavory, K. Labadie, S. Ducournau, A.‐M. Chèvre

“…Our results show that both species exhibit heat tolerance to the temperature range tested, especially B. rapa, with an increase in speed and uniformity of germination time, as well as an increase in germination rate as temperature increased. As for B. oleracea accessions, the ability to germinate under heat conditions depended on the geographical origin; in particular, southern populations showed a higher germination rate than northern populations, possibly in relation to their warmer climates of origin. …”
