The present study focused on exploring the effects of seed priming, drought and their interaction on the germination characteristics of Corethrodendron multijugum. We attempted to standardise an appropriate priming method for C. multijugum seeds by comparing the effects of various priming methods and drought stress on seed germination and seedling establishment to provide theoretical basis and technical support for subsequent cultivation and production. The results indicated that seed priming, drought stress and their interaction significantly (P < 0.01) affected all seed germination parameters and seedling establishment parameters, and germination was significantly (P < 0.05) correlated with early seedling establishment under drought stress. Of the different priming agents used in this study, water, 0.5% KMnO4, 0.3% H2O2 and 5% PEG-6000 significantly (P < 0.05) promoted seed germination and seedling establishment in C. multijugum. Among them, 0.5% KMnO4 was the most effective in alleviating the effects of drought stress on germination and early seedling establishment. Morphologically, the beneficial effects of priming can be attributed to increased seed germination, elongation and biomass accumulation of seedlings.","PeriodicalId":21662,"journal":{"name":"Seed Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67091624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The seeds and extracts are used for culinary, perfumery, flavouring food and medicinal purposes. The commercial cultivation of kala zeera is hampered due to poor seed germination and deep physiological dormancy. To break the dormancy of kala zeera, three phytohormones, gibberellic acid (100 µmol L-1), 6-benzylaminopurine (10 µmol L-1) and thidiazuron (6.3 µmol L-1) were tested individually and in combination, under two temperature levels: continuous chilling at 4°C and one week chilling at 4°C followed by incubation at room temperature. The combined application of the three phytohormones under continuous chilling (4°C) improved the germination from 11.25 to 93.25% and reduced the mean germination time 60 to 50 days. The lowest mean germination time (34.78 days) and high mean daily germination (1.57 seeds day-1) with a high coefficient of germination velocity (2.88), were found under combined application of phytohormones as compared to their individual application. The findings have implications in successful propagation and systematic cultivation of this high-value medicinal spice plant.","PeriodicalId":21662,"journal":{"name":"Seed Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67091865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seed companies depend on the quality of the seeds for the seed trade, while farmers depend on the quality of the seeds to improve their productivity and secure their livelihood. Germination and varietal identification/purity are fundamental aspects of seed quality that are of prime importance to the global seed trade. Seed germination is influenced by several factors among which are the genetic factors and environmental cues of the prevailing growing conditions where the plant grows. Among these cues, climate change fundamentally affects crop development at all stages, starting from germination and seedling growth, to flowering and fruiting. Several methods have been formulated and validated for the evaluation of the varietal identification/purity for some crops, facilitate synchronised seed germination and enhance uniform field establishment for optimum crop yield in the face of climate change. This issue of Seed Science and Technology includes papers discussing the application of some of the methods, for example, prechilling and the use of exogenous gibberellin to stimulate germination, the use of tetrazolium as a quick viability test for rice seeds, the applied phenol test for varietal identification of rice seeds, and seed priming to enhance germination of Corethrodendron multijugum seeds. In addition, the physiological response of seed to soil salinity and storage environment conditions are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":21662,"journal":{"name":"Seed Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67091757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fluctuating temperature regimes were more efficient in improving the germination than constant temperatures. Seeds of clover species, in addition to having a hard seed coat, have a non-deep physiological dormancy. Fresh seeds showed a high sensitivity to water stress compared with after-ripened seeds. However, relative resistance to salinity stress was observed. The results obtained in this research can be used to develop effective sowing strategies and support the successful establishment of these clover species.","PeriodicalId":21662,"journal":{"name":"Seed Science and Technology","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135403766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seeds of this species are physically dormant and thus, propagation is difficult. The dormancy also impacts the routine viability monitoring of genebank accessions. The present study investigated different methods to break dormancy in seeds collected from various locations at different times. The result showed that most pre-treatments significantly increased germination percentage. Accessions treated with concentrated sulphuric acid (25 or 30 minutes) followed by sandpaper scarification showed the highest proportion of normal seedlings (94.6 and 96%). Boiling water (2.3 or 3 minutes) was also effective in all accessions except for accession 331. However, accessions treated with hot water (3, 5 or 8 minutes) had a considerable proportion of hard seeds. The proportion of dead/abnormal seedlings was high in seeds treated with a hot wire in all accessions, ranging from 27.5 (accession 15489) to 75.5% (accession 16). The untreated seeds remained hard at the final germination count. We conclude that it is important to use concentrated sulphuric acid and mechanical scarification with sandpaper to break the dormancy for the species to enhance germination, obtain uniform field stands and make wise decisions during storage.","PeriodicalId":21662,"journal":{"name":"Seed Science and Technology","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136367501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to assess the varietal purity and genetic diversity among wheat cultivars grown in Romania using 22 SSR markers and to choose the most informative markers. The 40 samples included in the study consisted of seeds from certified and non-certified wheat cultivars, and from other related species. To establish that varietal purity is maintained, seeds from 14 certified wheat cultivars were analysed from two harvesting campaigns (years 2019 and 2020) and seeds of four of them were also compared with the authors’ seeds. The most polymorphic SSR marker was Xwmc596 (seven alleles), followed by Xwmc603 and Xwmc474 (six); Xgwm71, Xbarc347 and Xbarc074 (five); Xgwm469, DuPw004, Xgwm155 and Xbarc184 (four); Xwmc418, Xbarc170, Xwmc533, DuPw167, DuPw115, Xgwm413 and Xgwm372 (three); and DuPw217, DuPw205, Xgwm003 and Xgwm095 (two). SSR marker Xgwm052 showed low polymorphism (one). No contamination of the varieties was observed in these harvesting campaigns since all SSRs markers showed high similarity in the certified wheat cultivars harvest analysis; genetic diversity between genotypes was also observed.","PeriodicalId":21662,"journal":{"name":"Seed Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67091767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
