Abstract:

Cananga is one of the forestry plant that has high economic value and benefits. The provision of high-quality seed is necessary for establishy cananga plantation. The aim of this study was to observe the fruit morphology and analyze the physical quality of cananga seeds. This research method consisted of (1) morphological observation of seed (fruit size, number of seeds per fruit, and their correlation); (2) physical quality testing of seed (the weight of 1 000 seeds and seed moisture content). The observations showed that the fruit length were 7.40-27.5 mm, width 0.43-16.63 mm and weight 0.36

Abstract:

An experiment was carried out at the Department of Seed Science and Technology, Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai during 2018 to find out the effect of fruit size on physiological seed quality of cucumber. Variation in fruit size of cucumber results in poor quality seeds. In order to overcome this obstacle fruit grading was done based on weight of fruit to obtain good quality seeds. Harvested fruits of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) were categorized based on the weight into three different groups viz., Big (2.41kg), medium (1.66kg) and small (1.28kg). Observations on fruit and s

Abstract:

Seed storage in woody fruits on plants has been much studied, whereas trait variation in seed release has been given scant attention. In non-Mediterranean climates, some species release seeds immediately after fire, whereas others retain seeds in open fruits/cones for longer. We expected that species with wind-dispersed seeds and those killed by fire would spread their recruitment risks by having stronger cues for fruit opening and slower seed release once fruits were open. We therefore tested whether fire intensity (heat) affected fruit opening and seed release in 19 species. We then contrast

Abstract:

This study was carried out to evaluate quality criteria such as chemical composition and antioxidant and antibacterial activity values in 80% ethanol extracts of date-plum (Diospyros lotus) fruits and seeds. In addition, the macro and microelement concentrations of fruits and seeds were also investigated. According to the data obtained, when fruit and seed were compared, it was determined that the seed (81.72%) contained more components than the fruit (79.4%), and the antioxidant activity of the seed was also higher. While the main component of the seed was “Methyl hydrogen disulfide” with 43.

Abstract:

Litchi and longan are tropic/subtropic fruits harboring recalcitrant seeds that are covered with sugar-rich arils as the edible part. A rapid sugar content decline, called sugar receding, in the arils after the fruit maturation largely reduces the fruit quality, however, the mechanism is unclear. Litchi and longan fruits grow and mature in a hot and rainy season with dry spells between rainfalls. Here, we found that the seed maturation was around 2 weeks earlier than the fruit maturation, after which the sugar contents of the arils significantly decreased, while the fruits could stay on the tr

In light of the continuous increase in organic agriculture, the availability of organic seeds has gained a lot of importance. Especially since the new EU organic regulation came into force on 1 January 2022, proposing reducing the possibility of using untreated conventional seeds in the absence of organic seeds in the future. At the same time, the breeding of tolerant, resistant and adapted varieties is at the basis of organic production as is research to improve seed production and seed quality.

The fruit harvest at physiological maturity of seeds is a globally accepted practice. This method has been traditionally practiced in horticultural crops where quality seeds and vigorous seedlings are ensured for cultivation of the species. The assessment of seed physiological maturity in the harvest of forest fruits and seeds are seldom practiced as seed physiological and biochemical studies in tropical seeds is little attempted. Since recalcitrant seed behavior among forest species is increasing, maintenance of seed viability and longevity ex situ becoming a challenging task in the forestry

The moisture content of whole fruits, seeds and seed coats was 12.0, 9.86 and 13.87% (d.b.), respectively. The sphericity values showed that seed shape (0.86) is close to a sphere, similar as the fruit shape (0.83), both of which were close to a scalene ellipsoid shape. The surface area values of fruits and seeds were obtained as 163.27 and 80.25 mm2, and volume values were obtained as 190.96 and 66.32 mm3,
