Temperature Dependent Seed Germination of Dalbergia nigra Allem (Leguminosae)

Abstract: The germination of endangered species Dalbergia nigra was studied and 30.5°C was found as optimum temperature, although the species presented a broad temperature range where germination occurs and light had no effect. The analysis of kinetics of seed germination confirmed the asynchronized germination below and above the optimum temperature. The light insensitive seed and germination also at high temperatures indicated that D. nigra could occur both in understories and gaps where the mean temperature was high.

“…Samples from the two seed lots were germinated in Petri dishes on two sheets of germitest paper, moistened with distilled water under continuous light provided by four 40 W fluorescent, daylight-type lamps at a constant temperature of 25 °C for 12 days (Ferraz-Grande and Takaki, 2001). Seeds were considered germinated when the radicle protruded.…”

“…Assim, as sementes foram incubadas por 24, 48, 72 e 96 h, nas temperaturas de 5 e 15 °C; e por 8, 16 e 24 h, nas temperaturas de 35 e 45 °C. Após esses períodos, foram transferidas para o germinador, a 25 °C, sob luz constante, pois essa temperatura está na faixa ideal para germinação da espécie (FERRAZ-GRANDE;TAKAKI, 2001;GUEDES et al, 2011a). Esses períodos foram considerados para a duração total do teste de germinação, que totalizaram 12 dias.…”

“…In nature, some seeds are adapted to germinate under light, others in its absence, by scarification, in decreasing or optimal temperatures, or through other strategies (Gómes-Pompa and Vázquez-Yanes, 1981;Metivier, 1985;Ferraz-Grande and Takaki, 2001). Many seeds and sprouts of Neotropical plant species germinate in the beginning of the wet season to assure full development during a period of surplus water (Garwood, 1983;Morellato et al, 2000).…”
