Abstract

The study objective was to determine the physiological maturation of the Erythrina variegata check for this species in other resources L. seed. Each flower was identified according to its respective anthesis date. The fruit was collected weekly following the 21st day after anthesis (DAA). The following characteristics were evaluated: length and diameter of each fruit; color, fresh mass, dry mass, water content of both fruit and seeds; the seed germination state and vigor. The experimental design utilized was the completely randomized. It was found that the fruit of Erythrina variegata continues to grow in both length and diameter up until the 42ndDAA. The seeds start to germinate on the 63rd DAA, when the seed water content is 68.15% and the dry mass is 481.38 mg per seed. The maximum germination and vigor are obtained at the 77th DAA which coincides with the maximum seed dry mass. At this time the fruit has a dark brown color with brown-purple seeds which have a corneous tegument and a water content of 21%. This is considered as being the physiological maturation point of the seeds. The dehiscence of the fruit occurs at the 91st DAA.

Resumo

O trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a maturação fisiológica de sementes de Erythrina variegata check for this species in other resources L. Cada flor foi identificada em sua respectiva data de antese. A partir dos 21 dias após a antese (DAA) efetuaram-se coletas semanais de frutos para avaliações das seguintes características: comprimento e diâmetro dos frutos; coloração, massa fresca, massa seca e teor de água de frutos e sementes; germinação e vigor das sementes. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado. O crescimento dos frutos de Erythrina variegata, em comprimento e diâmetro, vai até 42 DAA. As sementes começam a germinar aos 63 DAA, cujo teor de água é de 68,15% e a massa seca 481,38 mg semente-1. A máxima germinação e vigor são obtidos aos 77 DAA, que coincide com o máximo conteúdo de massa seca, frutos com coloração castanho-escura, sementes castanho-arroxeadas, com tegumento córneo e teor de água de 21%, considerado o ponto de maturação fisiológica dessas sementes. Após 91 DAA ocorre a deiscência dos frutos.
