Abstract

This work was carried out to test the storage longevity of seeds from 10 different flower species (Dahlia, Pelargonium, Salvia, Zinnia, Petunia, Gazania, Antirrhinum, Viola, Impatiens and Tagetes). Four lots of each species were stored at 25°C for 12 and 5°C for 24 months at 6±0.5% seed moisture in hermetic conditions. After both storage conditions, the seed lots of pelargonium, gazania, zinnia and tagetes had an average germination rate of 100%, while antirrhinum, petunia, impatiens, viola, salvia and dahlia seeds had lower germination rates varying by species. The decrease in germination of antirrhinum, petunia, impatiens, salvia, dahlia and viola seed lots after 24 months storage at 5°C was 55, 29, 21, 11, 8, and 8%, respectively. The decrease in germination of salvia, dahlia, impatiens, viola, antirrhinum, and petunia seeds after 25°C storage for 12 months was 38, 15, 9, 8, 5, and 4%, respectively. The results showed that extent of seed deterioration varied among the species and should be considered for seed storage practices of flower seeds. The reasons for differences in storage behaviour of the species were discussed.

Abstract

Bu çalışma 10 farklı çiçek türü tohumunun (yıldız çiçeği, sardunya, adaçayı, kirli hanım, petunya, koyungözü, aslanağzı, menekşe, cam güzeli ve kadife çiçeği) depolama ömrünü test etmek ve türler arasındaki farkı saptamak için yapılmıştır. Her bir türden dört tohum partisi, hermetik koşullarda 25°C'de 12 ay ve 5°C'de 24 ay boyunca %6±0.5 tohum neminde depolanmıştır. Her iki depolama koşulundan sonra, sardunya, koyungözü, kirli hanım çiçeği ve kadife çiçeği tohum lotlarında ortalama %100 çimlenme gerçekleşirken, aslanazğı, petunya, camgüzeli, menekşe, adaçayı ve yıldız çiçeği tohumlarında türlere göre değişen daha düşük seviyede çimlenme oranları oluşmuştur. Aslanağzı, petunya, cam güzeli, adaçayı, yıldız çiçeği ve menekşe tohumu partilerinin çimlenmesindeki azalma, 5°C'de 24 ay depolandıktan sonra sırasıyla % 55, 29, 21, 11, 8, 8 olarak saptanmıştır. Adaçayı, yıldız çiçeği, cam güzeli, menekşe, aslanağzı ve petunya tohumlarının çimlenmesindeki düşüş, 12 ay boyunca 25°C'de depolandıktan sonra ise sırasıyla % 38, 15, 9, 8, 5, 4 olmuştur. Sonuçlar, tohum depolanabilirliğinin türler arasında değiştiğini ve çiçek tohumlarındaki tohum muhafaza koşullarında dikkate alınabileceğini göstermiştir. Türlerin depolama sürecindeki farklılıkların nedenleri tartışılmıştır.
