Germinación y vigor de morfotipos de semillas de Crotalaria juncea L. (Fabaceae)

Abstract

Crotalaria juncea L. (Fabaceae) es una especie herbácea anual originaria de la India. Sus semillas presentan polimorfismo en el color de la cubierta seminal y en el tamaño. Con la finalidad de evaluar el vigor de los morfotipos de semillas de C. juncea, éstas se agruparon según el color del episperma en uniformes (gris oscuro) y variegadas (con manchas marrones); a su vez se clasificaron en pequeñas (5 mm de longitud). Se evaluaron el peso de 1000 semillas, el porcentaje de germinación, la longitud y el peso seco de las plántulas, la conductividad eléctrica y la emergencia a campo. Los resultados mostraron que las semillas uniformes fueron más pesadas que las variegadas del mismo morfotipo de tamaño y aunque originaron plántulas de mayor longitud, el peso seco estuvo relacionado además con el tamaño de las semillas. Si bien, ambos morfotipos de color tuvieron altos porcentajes de germinación, las semillas uniformes presentaron menor conductividad eléctrica y mayor porcentaje de emergencia en el campo que las variegadas. Estas diferencias revelan que los morfotipos de color de episperma presentan distinto vigor, y que el tamaño de las semillas por sí sólo no tuvo efecto en las variables estudiadas. El peso de 1000 semillas presentó una correlación positiva con la longitud del eje hipocótilo radicular (r=0,68**) y el peso seco de las plántulas (r=0,75***), y una correlación negativa con la conductividad eléctrica (r=-0,56**); mientras que la emergencia en el campo, se correlacionó con la longitud y el peso seco de las plántulas (r=0,67*** y r=0,66**, respectivamente). Se concluye que es importante determinar la proporción de semillas variegadas en una muestra representativa del lote para establecer la adecuada densidad de siembra de C. juncea.

Crotalaria juncea L. (Fabaceae) is an annual herbaceous species native to India. Their seeds have polymorphism in the seed coat color and different seed sizes. Seeds were grouped according to their seed coat color into uniform (dark gray seeds) and variegated (brown mottled seeds), to evaluate the vigour of C. juncea seed morphotypes. They were also classified into small (5 mm length). The 1000 seed weight, germination percentage, length and seedling dry weight, electrical conductivity and field emergence were evaluated. The results showed that uniform seeds had greater weight than those variegated of the same size morphotype; although they produced longer seedlings, seedling dry weight was associated with seed size too. Both morphotypes of seed coat had high percentages of germination. However, uniform seeds presented lower electrical conductivity and greater field emergence percentage than those variegated. These differences reveal that the two morphotypes of seed coat color have different vigour, and that seed size had no effect by itself on the variables studied. The 1000 seed weight showed a positive correlation with the (1) hypocotyl radicular axis length (r=0.68**) and (2) seedling dry weight (r=0.75***). However, it showed a negative correlation with the electrical conductivity (r=-0.56**). Field emergence correlated with seedling both length and dry weight (r=0.67*** and r=0.66**, respectively). It is important to determine the proportion of variegated seeds in a representative sample of the seed lot to define the appropriate seeding density of C. juncea
