Abstract: -Queen palm is a tropical species of ecological importance and economic potential in various uses, including food. however, the knowledge about the nutritional value of fruits and the estimation of seed viability are still scarce. the aims of this work were to study the biometrics and chemical composition of fruits and seeds; describe the anatomy of embryos and assess the viability of the tetrazolium test. Mature fruits were collected, processed and submitted to biometry, water content, pulp and seeds chemical… Show more

“…in other species of the same family, concentrations equal to or lower than the ones used in this study proved to be efficient. That was the case of 0.5% tetrazolium applied for 2 h to A. aculeata seeds (Ribeiro et al, 2010), and 0.2% for 4 h to E. edulis (Iossi et al, 2016). Using the tetrazolium solution at 1% had the best correlation with the germination test.…”

“…Debido a que, aún en condiciones óptimas de temperatura y humedad, a causa de la dormancia, la cual es una propiedad adaptativa de las semillas [48], una semilla viable no llega a germinar, [49] Es por esto, que se recomienda utilizar más de un método para corroborar la información sobre su capacidad de germinación [50]. La germinación real se efectuo para comparar los resultados de ambos ensayos (Test de tetrazolio y germinación fisiológica), a fin de exclarecer la fiabilidad de la prueba de tetrazolio [51]. En la primera se obtuvó un promedio de 84.4% de germinación para las 5 repeticiones (Tabla 3), más bajo en comparación a la viabilidad de T1 (1 %, 24h) (Figura 2), con diferencias significativas con T2, T3 y T4 (Figura 2).…”
