Morphology of seeds and seedlings of four species of Vigna Savi (Leguminosae, Phaseolinae)

Abstract: Four neotropical species of Vigna Savi (Leguminosae, Phaseolinae) have potential value as forage crops or ornamentals and could be cultivated in tropical or subtropical areas, even on floodplains. In order to obtain useful data for their culture and taxonomy, the seed morphology, germination pattern (hypogeal or epigeal) and seedling development were studied. The studied species belong to different sections of the genus:(Sect. Caracallae) and V. luteola (Jacq.) Benth. (Sect. Vigna). The seeds were collected du… Show more

“…The data can be used in the species identification, a parameter which was also used by Silva et al (2014). The type of fruit is a diagnostic feature of the Leguminosae, according to Barroso et al (1999), Lopes et al (2012), Ojeda et al (2013), Albuquerque et al (2015), and the classic studies in morphology. Barroso et al (1999) classified the genus Apuleia as samaroid-type legume, dry undeiscent, flat and compressed, adapted to anemochorous seed dispersal with one to a few seeds, oblique, slightly coriaceous, with sparing-spongy mesocarp.…”

“…Soliman et al (2008) reported that the plant hairiness, flower color, pod wall thickness, cotyledon color, seed color, eye pattern and color, seed turgidity, and seed crowding are the most significant morphological attributes to distinguish among subgenera. The type of germination, the thigmotropic movements of hypocotyl and the stem, seedling architecture, and plant longevity were recorded by Ojeda et al (2013) on four species of Vigna Savi. These characteristics permitted us to distinguish the species and construct an identification key that could be useful for agronomic or floricultural purposes.…”

“…The obtained results were in agreement with Mahdy et al (2012) on Corchorus spp., Ojeda et al (2013) on four species of Vigna Savi and Selvakumar and Kumari (2015) on cowpea. These characteristics permitted to distinguish the cultivars and construct an identification key that could be useful for agronomic or floricultural purposes.…”
