Breaking seed dormancy in Opuntia rastrera from the Chihuahuan desert
In this paper, we investigated if germination of after-ripened seeds of Opuntia rastrera Weber could be enhanced using chemical (acid) and mechanical scarification pretreatments.

| description | In this paper, we investigated if germination of after-ripened seeds of
Opuntia rastrera Weber could be enhanced using chemical (acid) and mechanical scarification pretreatments.
O. rastrera seeds need an after-ripening period to germinate (≈50%) after 1 year and no germination occurs in younger seeds. Germination of 3-year old seeds of
O. rastrera was evaluated using sulphuric acid (H
2SO
4) for different lengths of time, and mechanical scarification treatments (dry heating at 80
°C for 12
h and washing, immersion in water for 12
h and washing, and seed coat cutting with pliers). Similar to other wild
Opuntia species
, germination of
O. rastrera seeds was not enhanced by any scarification pretreatment, demonstrating that an after-ripening period is the best—if not the unique—way to overcome physiological dormancy for this species. |
