“…Although the fruits contain many seeds, they have a very low germination percentage. Several authors have reported various studies to improve its germination and try to break the possible physical dormancy with different types of scarification, whether mechanical, chemical, thermal, or biological, [12][13][14][15], as well as being able to break the physiological dormancy with the use of gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) and potassium nitrate, as reported by [16][17][18][19]. It has been proven that scarification with sulfuric acid and the addition of GA 3 have improved the germination percentage [12,20], which Plants 2022, 11, 202 2 of 10 has led to the hypothesis that caper seeds can present physical dormancy (due to the impermeability of their cover) and physiological dormancy imposed by the embryo.…”

The caper is a shrub that adapts to harsh environments when it is established, but it presents serious difficulties in its propagation, both by cuttings and by seeds. Its seeds have low germination percentages, and germination is a very slow process. Significant increases in germination have been obtained with scarification and with the addition of gibberellic acid (GA3) to the substrate, leading to the hypothesis that they have possible physical and physiological dormancy. However, the only way to examine the water-impermeability of the cover is through imbibition analysis. This study analyzes the imbibition, viability, and germination of two seed lots, obtained in different years and evaluated immediately after their collection (FS) and after being stored (7 °C) for one month (DS) and one year (SS). The seed moisture content stabilizes from the fourth day, exceeding in all cases 31% in all three seed states tested (FS, DS and SS). This allows the germination of all viable seeds, only with the addition of GA3 to the germination substrate, without the need for scarification, so that caper seeds exclusively appear to present a physiological latency. Germination decreased in storage, even with just one month. With the GA3 addition, high germination values were obtained (up to 95% in FS).

The caper bush has developed different mechanisms to survive in Mediterranean conditions, such as drought tolerance and seed dormancy. Many studies have been carried out to improve the germination of caper seeds, but ultrasound is one of the least studied methodologies in this species. This study aimed to analyze the effects of treatments with an ultrasonic probe processor on the imbibition and germination of caper seeds. After applying the ultrasound treatment using three output powers and three holding times, the seed coat’s disruption level was determined, and the imbibition, viability and germination tests were carried out. Ultrasonication fastens the initial imbibition, but after 48 h of soaking, seed moisture does not present differences compared to non-sonicated seeds. It produces the scarification of the testa but does not affect the tegmen, so moistening occurs through the hilar region, as in control seeds. There is a significant linear and negative correlation between the germination of the seeds and the temperature reached during the sonication treatment, so that temperatures above 40 °C practically annulled the germination. The combination of 20 W and 60 s provided the greatest germination percentage, being the only treatment that statistically improves germination in relation to the control seeds. When the output power and/or holding time were higher, the temperature increased, and the germination percentage statistically decreased.

The paper describes the innovative technology for the production of powder for the food industry by means of drying ripe fruits. It is shown that drying methods have a significant effect on the composition of the fruit when dried. Experiments have shown that the composition of the fruit changes when dried in the shade, and that these parameters do not change only when dried by lyophilization. The authors show that the composition of the fruit changes due to the high temperature in the cabinet dryer.
