Investigation of dormancy and storage potential of seeds of yellow passion fruit

Abstract: Passiflora actinia Hooker is a passion fruit species native to Brazil, typically found in the Atlantic and Araucaria Forests. It has economic relevance (edible fruit) and medicinal value (sedative and anxiolytic properties), in addition to being used for vegetative propagation, as rootstock for other Passiflora species. This study aimed at investigating the occurrence of dormancy in P. actinia seeds, and at evaluating their storage potential. The germination test considered different combinations of temperatur… Show more

“…The highest germination percentage was recorded for scarified seeds cultivated in T6, which was composed of a mixture of commercial organic substrate, water, and gibbelleric acid. Thus, it is possible to affirm that the addition of gibberellin demonstrated positive effects, corroborating the results reported by other authors for passion fruit seeds (Grzybowski et al, 2019). The hormone gibberellin plays a role in the synthesis of RNAs and proteins responsible for seed germination, regulating the synthesis of α-and β-amylase enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of seed reserve tissues, transforming reserves into amino acids, nucleic acids, and sugars, and displacing these compounds into regions of embryonic growth.…”

“…To achieve successful in vitro germination, abiotic stress must induce dormancy breaks using chemical and/or physical methods (Grzybowski et al, 2019;Jasper & Nyamweha, 2019;Saffari et al, 2021). The choice of appropriate culture media is also essential because different concentrations of salts can positively or negatively influence the germination process depending on the osmotic potential of seeds (Uçarlı, 2020), while the addition of enriching agents and growth regulators may be necessary for the success of germination (Miranda et al, 2018;Uçarlı, 2020).…”

“…Exogenous dormancy is caused by tissues of the seed itself (extraembryonic), such as integument or parts of the fruit, and may be associated with physical, mechanical, and chemical factors. Physical dormancy, specifically, is caused by the impermeable nature of the integument of both seeds and fruit, which totally or partially restricts water diffusion to the embryo (Grzybowski et al, 2019).…”
