Storage and germination of Seeds with different weight of Jiotilla
The aim of this study was to evaluate the germination of seeds of different weight of Escontria chiotilla, collected in May 2009 in Coxcatlán, Puebla. The experimental design was completely randomized. Factors taken were seed weight (0.584, 0.490 and 0.466 mg) and storage conditions (23 ± 2 °C...

| description | The aim of this study was to evaluate the
germination of seeds of different weight of Escontria
chiotilla, collected in May 2009 in Coxcatlán, Puebla.
The experimental design was completely randomized.
Factors taken were seed weight (0.584, 0.490 and
0.466 mg) and storage conditions (23 ± 2 °C and -20
°C environment in the germplasm bank of UACHBANGEV).
Germination capacity in 2009 (initial with no
storage), 2010 and 2012, with storage of one and three
years, respectively, was evaluated. The experimental
unit was a Petri dish with 1 % agar and 100 seeds taken
from each treatment with five repetitions, evaluated for
30 days each year. The results showed that germination
capacity decreased after 3 years for all three weights.
The heavier seeds (0.584 mg) retained the highest
percentage in storage conditions environment, while
the seeds stored in BANGEV decreased their ability
to germinate at all weights. It was concluded that seed
germination of Escontria chiotilla is affected by weight
and storage condition and time. |
