Fruit biometry and physiological quality of Veitchia merrilli (Becc) H. E. Moore palm in relation to fruit maturation stage

Abstract: Veitchia merrilli (Becc) H. E. Moore is a palm tree widely used in gardening. Due to the continuous production of flowers on the inflorescences, there are fruits and seeds in various stages of maturation on the same plant, making it hard to determine the best fruit maturation stage for obtaining vigorous seeds. This study measured the biometric characteristics of the fruit at different stages of maturation and identified the best fruit maturation stage from which to obtain seeds with optimal physiological qual… Show more

“…Seeds taken from mature fruits tend to germinate faster; however, immature fruits (green color) produce seeds with low vigor and low germination power or even infertility (NAKADA et al, 2011). It is sometimes common to believe that seeds from fruits harvested during the senescence stage demonstrate greater physiological quality (ZUFFO et al, 2022). However, this study did not observe the best physiological quality in fruits harvested at stage 4 (red fruitred exocarp), which was the stage close to senescence of the fruits.…”

“…Thus, the study of seed maturation is important to determine the ideal harvesting point, aiming at seed production and quality (ZUFFO et al, 2022). Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the ideal maturation period for collecting fruits to extract seeds for seedling production, as well as to correlate the main morphological characteristics of 'biquinho' pepper seedlings with the Dickson quality index.…”

“…H. Wendl. (Luz et al, 2014), and Veitchia merrilli (Becc) H. E. Moore (Zuffo et al, 2022). Thus, seeds obtained from green fruits of D. inconstans can be used for the production of seedlings, without losses in germination percentage (above 85%) and with the formation of vigorous seedlings.…”
