“…The full-side scarification might have functioned as a water-gap associated with the impermeable layers of the seed that prevent the uptake of water. This work was in conformity with work of Ubaidillah et. al., 2020 on physical scarification method of Moringa oleifera seed.…”

Over-exploitation coupled with adverse effect of increased human activities and lack of standard plantation endangers the germination of Lannea microcarpa seeds. An experiment was carried out to check the effect of different pre-sowing treatments on seed germination of African Grape (Lannea microcarpa L.). Pot trials was conducted during dry season at Botanic garden, Department of Plant Science and Biotechnology, Faculty of Life Science, Federal University Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State using completely randomized design (CRD). Seeds were subjected to three different concentrations of sulphuric acid, hot water, cold water, physical treatment and untreated seed as control and were analyzed independently to obtain the best treatment periods. To remove the fungal spore and exudate, a total of nine hundred and sixty (960) viable seeds were selected and surface sterilized in 1.0% Sodium-hypochlorite (NaOCl) for 1 minute and rinsed three (3) times in sterile distilled water. 20 viable seeds were sown for each polypot. In chemical pre-sowing treatments, maximum germination percentage (85.00%) and early days to seedling emergence (8.00 days) were significant (P≤ 0.05) in seed treated with 50% dilute H2SO4 for 1 hour when compared to control and other time intervals. Similarly, in physical pre-sowing treatment, days to early emergence of the seedling were recorded in seed with full-sided scarification (6.00 days). Highest germination percentage (90.00 %) and early days to seedling emergence (6.00 days) were recorded in seed immersed in hot water for 10 minutes when compared to untreated (15.00 days). In Seeds immersed in cold water, the result did not produce significance differences (P> 0.05) among the treatments except for seeds immersed in cold water for 8.00 hours (80.00%) and early days to seedling emergence (6.00 days) when compared to other treatments and the untreated seed (15.00 days). These results suggested that seed with full-sided scarification (6.00 days), seed immersed in hot water for 10 minutes (6.00 days) and cold water for 8.00 hours (6.00 days) used in this study were optimum for the best treatments inducing emergence breakage of seed coat and the technology could be applied to generate seedling for future breeding programme.

Abstract: Seeds are part of the plant containing embryo that grows through the germination process. This process involves metabolism occurs in seeds to produce roots and shoots. However, this metabolic process is inhibited by the environment and genetics of the seeds itself. Thus, the seeds experience dormancy and fail to grow. Dormancy can be broken with help of physical and chemical scarification to accelerate seed germination. The research aim was to determine the physical and chemical scarification seed dormancy breaking in increasing the germination rosary pea seeds (Abrus precatorius L.). The research method used was experimental randomized block design using 4 treatment groups, namely cracked (F1), sanded (F2), and soaked in 50% H2SO4 solution for 15 minutes (K1) and 30 minutes (K2) and the group control with water. The viability germination, germination rate (GER), vigor index (VI), simultaneous growth (SG) normal sprouts on day 6, and growth rate (GOR) were observed for two weeks. The results obtained that immersion in H2SO4 50% solution for 30 minutes and cracking could break the dormancy of rosary pea seeds and increase germination with higher viability of germination, GER, VI, SG, and GOR than immersion in 50% H2SO4 solution for 15 minutes and sanding.
