ResumoDentre as várias espécies que podem ser utilizadas na obtenção de óleos vegetais para fins energéticos, o pinhão-manso tem sido considerado uma das melhores opções. Para isso, se faz necessário ter sementes de boa qualidade fisiológica e sanitária para um adequado estabelecimento das plantas no campo. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a eficiência do tratamento térmico no controle de patógenos, de campo e de armazenamento, em sementes de pinhão-manso armazenadas. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 5x4 (cinco períodos de armazenamento x quatro temperaturas de tratamento). As sementes de pinhão-manso, coletadas no município de Dourados -MS, foram submetidas ao beneficiamento e secagem ao sol, em seguida foram armazenadas em câmara seca em embalagem de vidro com tampa de rosca e capacidade de 500 ml, pelos períodos de 0, 90, 180, 270 e 360 dias. Após cada período de armazenamento, as sementes foram submetidas à termoterapia por imersão em água nas temperaturas de 45°C, 50°C e 55°C por 15 minutos; a testemunha foi imersa em água em temperatura ambiente (25±2°C) por 15 minutos. Os parâmetros avaliados foram: grau de umidade, germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação, condutividade elétrica e sanidade. O tratamento térmico nas temperaturas de 45°C, 50°C e 55°C não foi prejudicial para a germinação e integridade das membranas celulares das sementes. Após 180 dias de armazenamento, a utilização da termoterapia contribui para a conservação do vigor das sementes. Os fungos Penicillium sp. e Acremonium sp. são controlados pela termoterapia nas temperaturas de 45°C, 50°C e 55°C; e Aspergillus sp. é controlado pela temperatura de 55°C nos períodos de armazenamento de 180 e 270 dias. Palavras-chave: Jatropha curcas L, germinação, tratamento térmico, sanidade AbstractAmong the many species that can be used to obtain vegetable oil for energy, Jatropha is considered one of the best options. Therefore, it is necessary to have seeds with good physiological and health quality in order to have a good establishment of plants in the field. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of heat treatment to the control of seed-borne pathogens in stored Jatropha seeds. The experimental design was completely randomized with a factorial 5x4 (five periods of storage x four treatment temperatures). The seeds of Jatropha were collected in Dourados -MS, and were subjected to processing and sun drying, and then stored in a dry chamber in glass flaskswith a screw cap and a capacity of 500 mL, for periods
Luehea divaricata Mart. & Zucc is tree is of great ecological and economic importance. This study investigated the effect of fruit maturation on the germination and vigor of L. divaricata. Fruits were harvested at three maturity stages (unripe or green, brown and open) defined by digital colorimetry and seeds extracted from each stage divided into lots of earliest harvested and stored. Germination test was conducted with four replicates of 25 seeds from each fruit maturity stage in plastic boxes under temperature of 30 ± 2° C. The study was conducted in a 2 x 3 (two lots and three maturity stages) factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design with four replications. Data was submitted to analysis of variance and the means were compared by Tukey at 5%. Germination, germination speed index, average root length and moisture content showed higher values for recently harvested seeds extracted from fruits of all maturity stages compared to stored seeds. LEA protein showed higher activity in seeds from fruits with brown epicarp color of both lots while α-amylase protein activity was higher in the stored seed lot. This shows that better seeds are those that are newly collected fruits and browns.

In this study, we sought to identify efficient enzymes for use in monitoring the deterioration and loss of germination of Balfourodendron riedelianum (Engler) Engler seeds. The research was conducted at the Laboratório de Tecnologia de Sementes e Mudas of the Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná, Campus Marechal Cândido Rondon, Paraná State, Brazil. Seeds were harvested at three collection sites and later submitted for processing, drying, initial characterization and storage in airtight packaging under controlled and uncontrolled storage conditions and uncontrolled. Tests were conducted at 0, 120, 240, and 360 days using a germination test, germination speed index, accelerated ageing test and the activity of peroxidase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and β-1,3-glucanase. The experiment was a completely randomized design. The results were subjected to regression analysis at 5% probability. Ageing was different among sample sites and between different storage conditions. The decrease in viability of seeds of Balfourodendron riedelianum (Engler) Engler was detected based on the activity of peroxidase enzymes in seeds from the Diamante do Oeste and Missal sites and the enzyme β-1,3-glucanase in seeds from the Missal site after storage periods of 0, 120, and 240 days.
