Seed quality is routinely assessed by direct tests, e.g, the germination test, or indirect tests like the tetrazolium test, which has shoown to be promising in the determine viability and vigor, allowing the diagnosis of the main problems that may affect seed quality, such as mechanic damages, field deterioration and storage. In this respect, this study was conducted to develop a tetrazolium test protocol to ev...
Seeds with a good physiological quality are essential to high productivity. However, for some seeds, Phaseolus lunatus L., the viability and vigor analyze show deficiency in quality. This work aimed to evaluate the physiological quality of Phaseolus lunatus L. seeds using several vigor tests. The study was realized at the Laboratory of Seed Analysis of the Agricultural Sciences Center of the Federal University ...

Dimorphandra gardneriana Tul. is a legume, the fruits of which are used in routine extraction by the pharmaceutical industry. The objective was to study the morphological aspects of seeds, germination, seedlings, and young plants of Dimorphandra gardneriana Tul. The study was conducted at the Laboratory of Seed Analysis (LAS), Center of Agricultural Sciences, Federal University of Paraíba (CCA-UFPB), Areia - PB...
Germination is negatively influenced by water scarcity and by temperatures above or below the optimal range of the species, so it is necessary to know the critical point of absorption for the species or cultivar. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of water stress, simulated by solutions of polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG 6000) at different temperatures, on the germination and vigor of seeds of ...
Erythroxylum pauferrense is an endemic understory plant species of the Northeast Region of Brazil. The species is of great importance to the region and so ecophysiological studies are needed for its preservation. The objective of the present study was to determine the best substrates and temperatures for testing germination and seed vigor of E. pauferrense. An experiment was performed comprising a completely ra...
O melão pepino Cucumis melo var.Cantalupensis Naud é uma espécie crioula que apresenta alta adaptabilidade às condições edafoclimáticas do semiárido nordestino, servindo como fonte de renda e alimentar. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de melão pepino submetidas à irrigação com águas salinas de 0,012, 2, 4, 6 e 8 dS m-1, na percentagem de germinação, primeir...
The faveira bean (Parkia platycephala Benth.), belongs to the Fabaceae family, this species is recommended for afforestation and also has a forage potential. In addition, it has the potential of landscaping, the wood can be used for box-office, tables for internal divisions in small constructions, linings, confection of toys, as well as for firewood and charcoal. That way, the aim of this study was to evaluate ...
The species Enterolobium contortisiliquum (Vell.) Morong., (Fabaceae) is widely distributed in Brazil, commonly found in the Atlantic Forest domain. Despite its importance for the ecosystems, studies based on storage of E. contortisiliquum seeds are scarce. The objective of this work was to evaluate the physiological quality of seeds of Enterolobium contortisiliquum stored in different packages, environments an...
