Intra-and inter-population variation in seed size and dormancy in Schizolobium parahyba Blake na Floresta Atlantica
Seed size and dormancy level were studied in 20 trees from two populations of Schizolobium parahybaio evaluate how these characteristics occur between and within populations, and whether seed germination was affected by its morphometry. These two populations are located in the coastal (Paraty) or mo...

Zusammenfassung: | Seed size and dormancy level were studied in 20 trees from two populations of Schizolobium parahybaio evaluate how these characteristics occur between and within populations, and whether seed germination was affected by its morphometry. These two populations are located in the coastal (Paraty) or mountain (Miguel Pereira) regions in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The seed morphometrictraits (length, width, thickness and weight) were measured. Germination with or without seed coat dormancy treatment (mechanical scarification) was assessed by a randomized emergence test in nursey. All morphometric traits differed significantly among individuals and between populations. The trees from the mountain region showed a larger seed size and a lower dormancy level than that of trees from the coastal region. Seed size had no effect on seed germination or seedling development. Climate influence on the determination of germination behavior is discussed based on the results. Keywords: forest seed; population diversity; seed morphometrictraits; germination. O tamanho da semente e seu grau de dormencia foram estudados em 20 matrizes de duas populacoes de Schizolobium parahyba, visando avaliar como estas caracteristicas se distribuem entre e dentro de populacoes e qual a influencia da morfometria na capacidade de germinacao da especie. As populacoes sao procedentes da regiao litoranea (Paraty) e montanhosa (Miguel Pereira) no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. As caracteristicas morfometricas (comprimento, largura, espessura e massa) foram medidas e a germinacao com e sem tratamento de quebra de dormencia (escarificacao mecanica) foi avaliada em um teste de emergencia com delineamento inteiramente casualizado. Todas as variaveis morfometricas diferiram significativamente entre individuos e entre populacoes. As matrizes da regiao montanhosa apresentaram maior tamanho da semente e um menor nivel de dormencia do que aquelas localizadas na regiao litoranea. O tamanho da semente nao influenciou a germinacao das sementes e o desenvolvimento das plantulas. A influencia do clima na selecao do comportamento germinativo da especie foi discutido com base nos resultados obtidos. Palavras-chave: semente florestal; diversidade populacional; morfometria da semente; germinacao. |
