Abstract

Abstract: Technologies based on electromagnetic radiation, such as the X-ray technique, has contributed to the establishment of new and promising methodologies for evaluating seed quality. This study aimed to relate parameters based on semi-automated analysis of radiographs of crambe seeds to their physiological quality. Radiographic images of seeds from 10 seed lots of cultivar FMS Brilhante were semi-automatically analyzed using ImageJ® software. Measurements of morphometric characteristics and tissue integrity were obtained for the seeds, as well as individually for the seed embryo. Following X-ray test, the seeds were subject to germination and seedling growth test. It was possible to visualize the internal structures of the seeds in the radiographs. There were differences in the physical parameters obtained by the semi-automated analysis of the radiographs between the seed lots. Also, the lots differed regarding the physiological quality of the seeds. Morphometric characteristics and tissue integrity, especially for the seed embryo, showed high correlation with the seed physiological quality. Therefore, this work presents an efficient approach to rapid and non-destructively assess the quality of crambe seeds.

用射线照相图象快速无损地评定克兰种子质量

摘要:基于电磁辐射的技术，如x射线技术，为种子质量评价提供了新的、有前途的方法。本研究旨在将基于半自动化分析的克兰籽x线片参数与其生理质量联系起来。采用ImageJ®软件对10个品种FMS Brilhante种子的x线图像进行半自动分析。获得了种子的形态特征和组织完整性的测量，以及种子胚胎的单独测量。x射线试验后进行种子萌发和幼苗生长试验。在x光片上可以看到种子的内部结构。通过半自动化的射线照相分析得到的物理参数在种子批次之间存在差异。此外，不同批次的种子生理品质也存在差异。种子的形态特征和组织完整性，特别是种子胚的形态特征和组织完整性与种子的生理质量密切相关。因此，本研究提供了一种快速、无损地评价豆籽质量的有效方法。

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.
