Epicotyl morphophysiological dormancy in seeds of Lilium polyphyllum (Liliaceae)

Abstract: Dormancy-breaking and seed germination studies in genus Lilium reveal that the majority of Lilium spp. studied have an underdeveloped embryo at maturity, which grows inside the seed before the radicle emerges. Additionally, the embryo, radicle or cotyledon has a physiological component of dormancy; thus, Lilium seeds have morphophysiological dormancy (MPD). A previous study suggested that seeds of Lilium polyphyllum have MPD but the study did not investigate the development of the embryo, which is one of the m… Show more

“…After all treatments, seeds were sown at a depth of approximately 1cm in styrofoam trays containing a mixture of soil, sand, and litter in 1:1:1 proportion and placed in a non-temperature-controlled greenhouse (hereafter referred to as the 'greenhouse') at Srinagar Garhwal (550 m a.s.l.). The day and night temperatures in the greenhouse were about 28 and 12 °C, respectively, (average of 20°C); 20°C had previously been shown to be a favourable temperature for root emergence (Dhyani et al 2013). The soil was moistened, as required, with running tap water to keep the surface moist.…”

“…In contrast, in the laboratory the root emerged from >90% of the seeds after 8 weeks of incubation in 12/12h light/dark cycle at 20°C. Then, after a short period (14 days) of cold (0-4°C) moist treatment the shoot emerged from >80% of the seeds moved from 0-4 to 20°C (Dhyani et al 2013). Thus, a high percentage of the seeds give rise to a healthy seedling in the laboratory under controlled temperature conditions, i.e.…”

“…The situation is further aggravated by the epicotyls-morphophysiological seed dormancy in L. polyphyllum 11 . Due to dwindling population of the species in the wild, it has resulted into the threatened status in the Red Data Book of Indian Plants 12 and subsequently as critically endangered by IUCN 1 .…”
