S ummary The response of two populations of Bromus sterilis L. seed to light at 15°C was studied over 12 months when seeds were stored at different temperatures. White and red light inhibited the germination of both collections of seed, inhibition persisting for longer periods at low (4°C) than at high (23 °C) temperatures. The two populations of seed behaved similarly in their response to all light treatments.
