          Abstract

          Abstract Bauhinia monandra Kurz has ornamental characteristics as the shape of its crown and the exuberance of its flowering, being and is widely cultivated in urban afforestation in Brazilian regions. The production of forest seedlings is essential not only to meet the demand of urban afforestation, but also to conserve forests. However, studies on B. monandra regarding the degree of fruit maturity on seed performance are scarce. Thus, the objective of the current work was to verify the germination potential of B. monandra seeds at different stages of maturation at five constant temperatures. The germination percentage, germination speed index (GSI), mean germination time (t), relative germination frequency, and mean germination speed (MGS) were evaluated. Initially, the mature seeds had a water content of 8.5% and the immature seeds of 68.3%. Mature seeds reached high germination percentages, above 96% for temperatures of 25, 30, and 35 ºC. The immature seeds demonstrated low germination percentages, reaching the highest percentage of 33% for the temperature of 25 ºC, followed by the temperatures of 30 ºC and 35 ºC, with respective percentages of 32% and 20%. Mature seeds demonstrated the highest GSI value (11.79) for the estimated temperature of 26.94 ºC and immature seeds the highest value of t (7.85) for the temperature of 26.56 ºC. It is concluded that mature seeds aggregate higher germination at an estimated temperature of 24.72 ºC and that immature seeds present unsatisfactory germination performance.

          Resumo Bauhinia monandra Kurz possui características ornamentais como a forma de sua copa e a exuberância de sua floração, sendo amplamente cultivada na arborização urbana nas regiões brasileiras. A produção de mudas florestais é essencial não somente para atender à demanda da arborização urbana, mas também a conservação das florestas. No entanto, são escassos os estudos de B. monandra quanto ao grau de maturidade dos frutos no desempenho das sementes. Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi verificar o potencial germinativo de sementes de B. monandra de diferentes estádios de maturação em cinco temperaturas constantes. Foram avaliados o percentual de germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação (IVG), tempo médio de germinação (t), frequência relativa de germinação e velocidade média de germinação (VMG). Inicialmente as sementes maduras possuíam teor de água de 8,5% e as imaturas de 68,3%. As sementes maduras atingiram altos percentuais de germinação, superiores a 96% para as temperaturas de 25, 30 e 35ºC. As sementes imaturas atingiram um percentual baixo de germinação, atingindo o maior percentual de 33% para a temperatura de 25 ºC, seguido pelas temperaturas de 30 ºC e 35 ºC, com percentuais respectivos de 32% e 20%. As sementes maduras lograram o maior valor de IVG (11,79) para a temperatura estimada de 26,94 ºC e as sementes imaturas o maior valor de t (7,85) para a temperatura de 26,56 ºC. Conclui-se que sementes maduras agregam maior germinação sob a temperatura estimada de 24,72 ºC e que as sementes imaturas tiveram desempenho insatisfatório na germinação.

              Seed Priming with Melatonin Improves the Seed Germination of Waxy Maize under Chilling Stress via Promoting the Antioxidant System and Starch Metabolism

              Chilling stress is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting waxy maize plant growth. Melatonin (MT) is able to improve tolerance to abiotic stress in plants. To investigate the effects of seed priming with MT on tolerance to chilling stress in waxy maize, the seed germination characteristics and physiological parameters were tested with varied MT concentrations (0, 50, 100 µM) and treatment times (12, 24 h) at ambient (25 °C) and chilling (13 °C) temperature. MT primed seeds significantly enhanced the germination potential (by 20.29% and 50.71%, respectively), germination rate (by 20.88% and 33.72%), and increased the radicle length (by 90.73% and 217.14%), hypocotyl length (by 60.28% and 136.14%), root length (by 74.59% and 108.70%), and seed vigor index (46.13%, 63.81%), compared with the non-priming seeds under chilling stress. No significant difference was found in priming time between primed and non-primed seeds. In addition, lower H2O2 and malondialdehyde concentrations, increased antioxidant enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase and ascorbateperoxidase), and promoted starch metabolism were found in primed seeds compared to non-primed ones. It was suggested that seed priming with MT improved waxy maize seed germination under chilling stress through improving antioxidant system and starch metabolism, which protected from oxidative damage.
