Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is one of the oil crops which can be grown harsh environments. According to the importance, physiological studies are as important as cultivation studies. Linseed has to different seed colour. Seed colour is related to the seed oil composition. Seed colour in linseed is controlled by several genes and mentioned as genetic marker in previous studies. In this study, the effect of seed colour and seed weight on seed vigour are investigated. Two seed colour varieties (yellow and brown); two seed weight varieties (small and big) used in the experiment. The experiment was carried out in an incubator set to 22±1°C with 3 replications according to the Split Plots Experimental Design. The result of the research; It was found that the effect of seed colour on germination power of seed was very important and the effect of seed size was insignificant. As a result; It was concluded that the germination power of brown seeds was higher in linseed varieties and there was no direct relationship between germination power of 1000 seed weight.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
