<b>Physiological and physical quality of local <i>Araucaria angustifolia</i> seed variety

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Araucaria angustifolia seeds are the basis for the rural economy in southern Brazil, and the species presents different botanical varieties. The objective of this work was to evaluate the diversity of physical, physiological and biochemical characteristics of Araucaria angustifolia seeds from local varieties: 'sancti josephi', 'angustifolia', 'caiova', and 'indehiscens'. Seeds were collected from the cities of Painel and Urubici in Santa Catarina State and tested for moisture content, 1000-seed weigh… Show more

“…The notation for irradiated germ lines that were irradiated uses M codes such as "MDR" and "MSR" [7], However, the seed quality of these lines was never evaluated. In general, physiological qualities such as large seed size correlate with higher seed quality [8], [9], and [10].…”

“…In A. angustifolia seeds, starch is the carbohydrate most commonly found (ARALDI et al, 2016;SHIBATA et al, 2016), although soluble carbohydrates may be present. This compound act as a substrate for respiration during germination and may provide protection against the effects of desiccation (BERJAK et al, 2008;BONOME et al, 2011).…”

“…Araucaria angustifolia is an endangered (Brasil, 2008;Thomas, 2013) native Brazilian conifer tree. However, seeds from local varieties of A. angustifolia showed great diversity of physical and physiological parameters, which may reflect that a relevant genetic diversity is still present (Shibata, Coelho, Araldi, Adan, & Peroni, 2016;Araldi, Coelho, & Shibata, 2018). Its mature seeds are formed by a bulky megagametophyte, the major storage tissue, and an embryo, which represents only 1.3% of the total weight of the seed (Araldi & Coelho, 2015).…”
