Abstract:

Experiment carried out to assess the viability of Asian spider flower seeds revealed that presoaking embryos of Cleome viscosa in 1% H₂O₂ for 30 M followed by 0.2% tetrazolium (Tz) staining for 4 h showed pronounced improvement in staining compared to embryos not subjected to H₂O₂ that remained unstained.
