Abstract:

This research was carried out with the aim of dormancy breakage and seed germination improvement in mature and immature seeds of T. rubra subsp. caucasica form angulata. The seeds were collected from middle altitude (500 a.s.l.) forests of Chamestan, north of Iran. Mature and immature seeds with pericarp were treated as 1) cold stratification (without pretreatment), 2) imbibed with NaOH (30%)+cold stratification. Also, mature and immature seeds without pericarp were treated as 1) imbibed with gibberelic acid (500 mg/l)+cold stratification, 2) imbibed with kinetin acid (1 mg/l)+cold stratification. The examination was performed as completely randomized design with three replications. The highest amount of seed germination belonged to mature seeds without pericarp-imbibed with pretreatments of acid (giberelic or kinetin) and also immature seeds with pericarp-without pretreatment. The highest germination speed allocated to immature seeds with pericarp-without pretreatment, and the maximum mean germination time to mature seeds without pericarp-imbibed with giberelic acid. The results of this research showed that for optimizing seed germination of this species with above mentioned provenance, the best conditions for seed germination is, immature seeds with pericarp, subjected to cold stratification (without any pretreatment).

The Effect of Different Pretreatments on Seed Dormancy Elimination and Seed Germination Improvement of Guava (Psidium guajava)

Extend abstract Introduction: Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is one of the most important fruit crops of tropical and subtropical regions. Guava (Psidium guajava L.) can be propagated by seed, layering, grafting, cutting or tissue culture. Propagation by seed is used for the production of seedlings usable in breeding programs or rootstock production for grafting. Guava seeds germinate poorly and u...

Seed dormancy and germination.

Seed dormancy and germination are complex adaptive traits of higher plants that are influenced by a large number of genes and environmental factors. Studies of genetics and physiology have shown the important roles of the plant hormones abscisic acid and gibberellin in the regulation of dormancy and germination. More recently, the use of quantitative genetics and mutant approaches has allowed t...

Seed Germination and Dormancy.

Seeds are a vital component of the world’s diet. Cereal grains alone, which comprise -90% of all cultivated seeds, contribute up to half of the global per capita energy intake. Not surprisingly then, seed biology is one of the most extensively researched areas in plant physiology. Even in relation to the topics reviewed here, a casual perusal of the Agricola database reveals that well over 5000...

Seed dormancy-breaking and germination requirements of

Dormancy breaking and germination requirements were investigated in seeds of Ferula ovina and Ferula gummosa. Seeds of rather species were collected from north and eastern-north rangelands of Iran. Seeds of each of the species were subjected to different treatments including various levels of GA3, chilling and combination of GA3 and chilling (GA-chilling). In contrast to treated seeds, non-trea...
