Seed dormancy in breding lines of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)
Six eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) genotypes were studied for the seed dormancy, a common trait of this vegetable crop. Two genotypes (33 and 34) were the breeding lines while other four (1-00261, 2-02619, 7-00568, 12-00823) belong to exotic germplasm of the Institute for Vegetable Crops in Smedere...

| Summary: | Six eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) genotypes were studied for the seed dormancy, a common trait of this vegetable crop. Two genotypes (33 and 34) were the breeding lines while other four (1-00261, 2-02619, 7-00568, 12-00823) belong to exotic germplasm of the Institute for Vegetable Crops in Smederevska Palanka. In order to break the dormancy the seeds were treated with: 1) low temperature (HLS), at 40C for: 96, 72, and 48 hours, continually; 2) hormones, i.e. with Gibberellic acid (GA3) in three concentrations: 5 ml/100ml; 15 ml/100ml and 25 ml/100ml, for 24 hours and after that seed were left to germinate; 3) chemicals, with potassium nitrate (KNO3) solution in concentration: 0.5, 1 and 1.5% for 24 hours. Non-treated seeds were the control. We analyzed seed germination and seed germination energy. Three genotypes (33, 7 and 12) represent the least stabile genotypes, since they reacted positively to treatments, and the most intensively to treatment with Gibberellic acid 25ml/100ml. |
