Abstract

Abstract: The use of computational resources to assess the physiological potential of seeds has attracted the attention of researchers and professionals in the seed sector. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vigor of cowpea seeds using the Vigor-S software (Automated Seed Vigor Analysis System), in comparison to the information provided by traditional vigor tests that are recommended for the species. Seven seed lots of the cultivar BRS Guariba were used. They underwent germination and seed vigor assessment by testing first germination count, accelerated aging, electrical conductivity, seedling emergence, speed of seedling emergence and use of Vigor-S, an automated image system for seedling assessment, in two evaluation periods. The data underwent analysis of variance, in a completely randomized design and their means were compared by the Scott-Knott test (p ≤ 0.05). An analysis was made of the correlation between the vigor tests traditionally used and the variables provided by Vigor-S. Using the Vigor-S software for automated image analysis of cowpea seedlings three days after sowing is an efficient alternative to detect differences in vigor between seed lots, similarly to traditional seed vigor evaluations.

利用vigor - s软件对豇豆种子活力进行评价

摘要:利用计算资源评估种子的生理潜能已经引起了种子研究人员和专业人士的关注。本研究的目的是利用vigor - s软件(自动种子活力分析系统)对豇豆种子的活力进行评价，并与推荐的传统活力测试提供的信息进行比较。采用7个种子批次的瓜里巴品种BRS。通过首次发芽数、加速老化、电导率、出苗率、出苗率和出苗率的测定，以及使用秧苗评价自动图像系统vigor - s，分两个评价期进行发芽和种子活力评价。采用完全随机设计进行方差分析，均数比较采用Scott-Knott检验(p≤0.05)。分析了传统的活力测试与活力- s提供的变量之间的相关性。使用vigor - s软件对播种后三天的豇豆幼苗进行自动图像分析，是检测种子批次之间活力差异的有效替代方法，类似于传统的种子活力评估。

期刊介绍： From 2017 the Journal of Seed Science (JSS) will circulate online version only. Original scientific studies and communications, not yet published or submitted to another journal for publication and written in Portuguese or English, will be accepted for publication. For manuscripts submitted in English, the authors should provide an adequated version. The SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION is a category of scientific manuscript which describes a technique, an equipment, new species or observations and surveys of limited results. It has the same scientific rigor as the “Scientific Articles” and the same value as a publication. The classification of a manuscript as a SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION is based on its content and scientific merit but it can be a preliminary study, simple and not definitive on a certain subject, with publication justified by its uniqueness and contribution to the area. The Editorial Board of the JSS may invite leading authors of recognized reputation to compose specific Review Articles covering topics of their specialization that will convey to the scientific community the state-of-the-art knowledge related to the specific theme.
