Abstract

The fluctuations in seed food reserves can trigger a cascade of physiological and biochemical events that ultimately manifest as discernible changes in seed morphology and anatomy.  The purpose of this research was to evaluate seeds morphology, anatomy, and quality of Musa balbisiana “Klutuk NTT” and Musa acuminata “Sumatrana” accessions and their storability. Morphological evaluation included seed size and the weight of 100 grains. Anatomical evaluations were carried out for seed structure. The seed quality of the Klutuk NTT banana accessions was observed after being stored for 5, 25, and 41 months, while the Sumatrana banana accessions were observed after being stored for 5, 23, and 41 months. The Klutuk NTT seeds are sized 4 mm to 5.8 mm, while Sumatrana seeds are sized 4 mm to 5 mm. The Klutuk NTT and Sumatrana seeds had a seed coat, endosperm, embryo, micropyle, inner and outer integuments, chalazal, and operculum. The embryonic structure of both Klutuk NTT and Sumatrana seeds exhibited an inverted T-shape. After storage, the two accessions showed significant differences in moisture content, germination rate, vigor index, and seedling growth performance. The Klutuk NTT accessions demonstrated a significant increase in moisture content, germination rate, vigor index, and seedling emergence uniformity, suggesting improved seed performance after storage. In contrast, the Sumatrana accessions showed a significant decline in all measured parameters, except for moisture content. These results suggest that the Klutuk NTT accession may possess a physiological seed dormancy mechanism. Keywords: Banana; germination; true seed; viability; vigor

Abstract

Seed vigor reaches a maximum at physiological maturity and decreases during storage. This study aimed to determine the physiological maturity and enhance the storability of sorghum seeds. Experiments were conducted at BRIN Lebak-Bulus from March 2023 to March 2024. The initial experiment employed a two-factor randomized complete block design, incorporating five sorghum varieties and five seed maturity levels. The second experiment used a complete randomized design with two factors (nest: temperature storage 18 °C and 26 °C, and nested: combined seed moisture content (MC) 10-11% and 12-13%, and storage period (1-24 weeks). The results indicated the seed physiological maturity stages of the five sorghum varieties were: Numbu 46 days after anthesis (DAA), Super-1 39 DAA, Bioguma-1 51 DAA, Samurai-2 55 DAA, and Pahat 40 DAA. The Numbu stored at 18 °C, 10-11% MC had storability up to 24 weeks (72.3% germination) and at 18 °C, 12-13% MC up to 20 weeks (72.3%), while at 26 °C, 10-11% MC had storability up to 18 weeks (71.3%) and 26 °C, 12-13% MC up to 22 weeks (70.3%). The Bioguma-1 and Samurai-2 seeds were suspected of having after-ripening dormancy. From the beginning until 24 weeks, they did not deteriorate, although the viability was below 70%.
