Abstract :Water uptake was related to germination insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%);, seedling emergence insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%);, mean germination time insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(h);, and electrical conductivity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(µScm-1g-1); of nine French bean seed cultivars. Normal germination percentages were ranged between 43 and 99%, seedling emergence 45 and 88%, RE was between 43 and 100%, electrical conductivity 48.5 and 144.1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(µScm-1g-1);, mean germination time insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.95 and 1.82 d);. Seed water uptake at 25℃ varied 20.43 and 50.89% after 2 h and 32.47 and 56.36% after 6 h. Seed water uptake insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%); after 2 and 6 h imbibition was significantly correlated with normal germination percentages insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(R2=0.82, P<0.01, 0.77, P < 0.05);, normal seedling emergence insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(R2=0.76, P < 0.05, R2=0.93, P<0.001);, mean germination time insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(R2=0.77, P < 0.05, R2=0.66, P < 0.05);, and electrical conductivity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(R2=0.73, P < 0.05, R2=0.83, P<0.01);. Results were interpreted by prediction of water uptake in relation to seed germination and emergence.
