Analysing seed germination and emergence data with R
Germination/emergence assays are relatively easy to perform, by following clear and standardised procedures. Most often, we take samples of seeds and we put them in Petri dishes/boxes/pots in some selected conditions (relating to, e.g., humidity content, light and temperature). We inspect those containers according to a tight schedule (e.g., daily) and, at each inspection, we count the number of germinated/emerged seeds and remove them from the containers.
