“…Seed orientation affects seedling emergence greatly. The results are in conformity with Garner and Chaudhri (1976) and Hammed et al, (2014) in cashew. Germination commences with the uptake of water by the dry seed (imbibition) and is completed when embryonic shoot and root, i.e., plumule and radicle, respectively, emerged.…”

“…Increased genome size in plants has been linked to increased cell size (CAVALIER-SMITH, 2005;GREGORY, 2005) and increased demand for energy to build extra DNA and large cells (LEITCH and BENNETT, 2004;CAVA-LIER-SMITH, 2005). Cashew plants raised from large nuts are characterized by large surface leaf area and large food reserves (HAMMED et al, 2014). Correlation between nut size and vigorous growth form in the early stage of cashew development has been reported in these germplasm materials (HAMMED and ADEYEMI, 2005).…”

There are scanty data on genome size of Anacardiaceae, and none has been reported for cashew, Anacardium occidentale till date. This study aimed at determining the absolute nuclear DNA content (genome size) that could facilitate research into bio-systematics, genomics and genetic improvement of this important tropical tree crop species. Here, isolated nuclei of preparations from 43 cashew accessions selected across five growing regions were flow cytometrically analyzed for genome size determination using Solanum lycopersicum var. Stupicke with a genome size of 1.96 pg/2C as an internal reference standard.Mean genome size was significantly different (P < 0.01) across the 43 cashew accessions suggesting intra-specific variation (about 3.6 % coefficient of variation) for absolute nuclear DNA content in this species, but with no evidence of endopolyploidy or endoreduplication. Flow cytometric analysis data presented here showed that absolute genome size of cashew is about 0.857 pg/2C (419 Mb/1C). However, there was a slight gradual increment in genome size from south to north gradient across sampled populations. The data also showed significant correlation (r = 0.368, P < 0.01) between nuclear DNA content (genome size) and phenotypic trait, nut weight. The results obtained here confirmed relatively small genome size in this tree species, almost twice genome size of diploid Arabidopsis thaliana but slightly lower than mango, Mangifera indica, a close relative in Anacardiaceae. Similarity in genome size between Mangifera indica and Anacardium occidentale could be a further proof of genetic relatedness between these two important species of Anacardiaceae.

The production of argan seedlings in nurseries is considered a crucial step for the success of any argan forest regeneration program since it increases the rate of survival and growth. Therefore, the substrate and container play a vital role in argan seedling production, while the use of shade may improve soil moisture and decrease the water stress of the plant. This study aims to determine the effects of these factors and their interactions. For this, the effects of four shade levels (0%, 20%, 40%, and 80%) and six different compositions of the substrate, as well as four different sizes and forms of containers, on argan seedling production were studied for six months under greenhouse conditions, based on analyzing the leaf mineral elements and measuring morphological traits. According to the studied parameters, the results show that 0% and 40% of shade are, respectively, the best shade levels for growth, while the germination rate is higher only in an unshaded compartment (85.28%). Furthermore, the substrate based on peat moss lead to one of the higher germination rates (78.75%) and the finest plants in terms of chlorophyll content, and shoot and root growth, while the largest container (C2) had the best shoot and root growth with 34.34 cm of root length. However, the mineral analysis, mainly the leaf total nitrogen concentration, is correlated with morphological traits. In addition, the cost–benefit analysis study confirmed this finding and valorizes the use of S1 substrate (1/2 black peat and 1/2 blond peat) and a C2 container (volume: 3100 mL) since it is considered the most efficient and economic combination for different shade levels.
