Germination characteristics of plump and shriveled seeds of Tamarix ramosissima matured in different seasons
Tamarix ramosissima has bi-seasonal flowering and fruiting. Although the basic germination characteristics of T. ramosissima seeds have been evaluated, there is a lack of information about the effects of seed plumpness on germination. Effects of seed plumpness and season of maturity and light conditions on germination were tested. Plump seeds matured in spring or summer had similar size and pappus length. The size of plump seeds was significantly larger than that of shriveled seeds. Both types of seeds matured in summer germinated better than seeds matured in spring. Germination percentage of plump seeds was significant higher than that of shriveled seeds, especially for seeds matured in spring. Darkness significantly decreased the germination of seeds matured in summer. This study provides comprehensive information about the seed germination requirements of T. ramosissima and the results can be used in restoration of desert lands.
