Physiological Quality

The physiological quality is based on the genotype and may be accompanied since the first stages of selection through the study of genetic diversity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the parental genetic contribution in the seed physiological quality in corn intervarietal crossbreeds. The intervarietal crossbreeds were performed using landraces genotypes, open pollinated varieties and commercial hybrids. The seeds obtained from the crossbreed, their equivalents and parentals were evaluated regarding their water percentage, germination, germination speed rate, accelerated aging, field emergence and electrical conductivity. The seeds obtained in the crossbreed are viable and vivid with heterosis when compared with the parentals. The accelerated aging test was more effective for selecting the strongest genotypes. The canonical variables were useful to group the genotypes that presented similar physiological characteristics. The genotypes MPA 01 x Pixurum 05, MPA 01 x AS1565, MPA 01 x SJC5886, SJC5886 x Pixurum 05 and Fundacep 35 x SCS 154 Fortuna were the best crossbreeds regarding the production of better physiological quality seeds.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine adequate conditions of water volume, seed quantity and immersion period to perform the electrical conductivity test, and to analyze the parameters of the accelerated aging test and its correlation with the the physiological potential of amaranth seeds. Five lots of amaranth seeds (Amaranthus cruentus), cultivar BRS Alegria, were used. The initial evaluation of the quality of these lots comprehended the following tests: water content, germination, first germination count, accelerated aging (traditional method, and modified versions, using unsaturated and saturated saline solution for the periods of 24, 48 and 72 h), electrical conductivity in different periods (2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h), different quantities of water (25, 50 and 75 mL), different seed quantities (100 and 150), and field emergence. It could be concluded that the accelerated aging test at 41 °C, for 72 h, using unsaturated NaCl solution was efficient in the classification of amaranth seed lots in levels of vigor. The electrical conductivity test performed for 8 hours with 25 mL of water and 100 seeds was efficient in the classification of amaranth seeds as to their physiological potential.

Weathering Resistance

O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a resistência ao intemperismo artificial de quatro revestimentos aplicados nas madeiras de duas espécies florestais. Para tal, foram utilizadas seis árvores de Eucalyptus grandis e três árvores de Tetrorchidium rubrivenium as quais foram desdobradas para confecção de 50 amostras para cada espécie, com dimensões de 5,0x7,0x1,0cm (largura, comprimento e espessura, respectivamente). A superfície das madeiras foi revestida com quatro acabamentos: polistein, verniz marítimo, tinta branca base óleo e tinta branca base água. As amostras sem revestimento e revestidas foram submetidas ao ensaio de envelhecimento acelerado durante 480 horas. A resistência ao intemperismo artificial foi avaliada por meio das modificações colorimétricas e morfológicas ao longo da exposição das madeiras e em função da molhabilidade superficial. Os principais resultados mostraram que a superfície das madeiras  tendeu a tons opacos após exposição de 480 horas. Foi observado que os revestimentos não evitaram o aumento da molhabilidade superficial. Após todo o período de exposição, as madeiras não apresentaram modificações morfológicas tais como rachaduras e descascamento dos revestimentos, o que denota importante característica de proteção à madeira.Palavras-chave: Eucalyptus, canemaçu, modificação da superfície, envelhecimento acelerado, durabilidade da madeira. ARTIFICIAL WEATHERING OF FOUR COATINGS APPLIED ON WOODS OF TWO FOREST SPECIES ABSTRACT:The present study aimed to investigate the resistance to artificial weathering of four coatings applied on wood from two forest species. Six trees of Eucalyptus grandis and three trees of Tetrorchidium rubrivenium were cut to produce 50 wood samples for each species with dimensions of 5.0x7.0x1.0 cm (width, length and thickness, respectively). Wood surface was coated with four finishing products: polistein, marine varnish, oil-based white paint and water-based white paint. The uncoated and coated wood samples were subjected to accelerated aging test for 480h. The artificial weathering resistance was evaluated by color changes and surface wettability. The main results showed the coated woods tend to opaque tones after the exposure for 480h. The coatings did not avoid the increase of the surface wettability. After the exposure, both woods did not present morphological changes, such as cracks and peeling into the coatings, which represent relevant characteristics for wood protection.Keywords: Eucalyptus, canemaçu, surface modification, accelerated aging, wood durability. DOI:

Development of papaya fruit production is influenced by the availability of seed quality. High seed quality is maintained during seed storage. Estimation of vigor in relation to storability can be detected by accelerated aging test. This research aims to develop physicall accelerated aging test by, 1)determine the impact of physical accelerated aging on vigor and viability parameters on papaya seed variety Callina and Sukma, 2) determine the levels of seed moisture content and effective period of physicall accelerated aging to predict vigor of papaya seed. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Seed Science and Technology and Green House Leuwikopo, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, IPB in January-May 2016 using a randomized complete block design with three replications. Seeds aged by the aging equipment MPC IPB 77-1 MMM. The results showed that the aging time decreased germination value in papaya seed variety Callina and Sukma with equation y=-0.1389x3+3.3333x2–25.25x+81.5 and y=0.0171x3+0.2028x2-9.9956x+81.095. Effective imbibition is 96 hour with moisture content 63-70% in both varieties. The effective of aging time treatment at 0x4, 1x4, 2x4, 3x4, dan 4x4 minutes.Keywords:imbibition, moisture content, viability, vigor
