Paulownia elongata is an economically important tree species in China. The germination in response to light, temperature, cold stratification, after-ripening and GA3 was tested. P. elongata seeds exhibited non-deep physiological dormancy, which can be broken
by dry storage at room temperature, cold stratification and exposure to exogenous GA3. Seed germination was light-induced and 25\textdegreeC was the optimum germination temperature. Freshly harvested P. elongata seeds treated by cold stratification for about 30 days or dry storage
for 165 days resulted in almost complete germination.",
