Ecophysiology of seed germination in Digitaria insularis ((L.) Fedde)

Abstract: -The invasive behaviour of sourgrass (Digitaria insularis) in cultivated areas is due to its strategy of aggressive regeneration, which is based on seed germination. Knowledge of the physiological ecology of this species can contribute to the development of management and control strategies. The aim of this research was to understand the effects of provenance, temperature and light on the germination of sourgrass seeds collected in the Brazilian state of São Paulo in the cities of Americana, Botucatu and São J… Show more

“…Biotype R germinated more than the susceptible one at temperatures between 15 and 30 o C, with or without light, with an exception observed for 25 o C in the absence of light (Figure 2). These results are consistent with those obtained by Mendonça et al (2014) and Mondo et al (2010), who have classified sourgrass seeds as preferential positive photoblastics because they do not depend on light for germination, although this one has been higher in its presence (Vázquez-Yanes and Orozco-Segovia, 1993). This characteristic is common in weed seeds because it is a species adapted to different edaphoclimatic conditions, as observed in Aegilops tauschii and Urochloa subquadripara (Teuton et al, 2004;Fang et al, 2012).…”

“…Although Klein and Felippe (1991) report this species as neutral photoblastic, in recent work by Mendonça et al (2014) it was proved that it is a positive photoblastic species. Therefore, the physical barrier provided by the …”

“…Vários estudos têm demonstrado que a luz e a temperatura interferem na germinação da semente de diferentes espécies, como Calendula officinalis (Koefender et al, 2009); Blephacoralyx salicifolius (Rego et al, 2009);Piper sp. (Bergo et al, 2010;Pacheco Junior et al, 2013); Stevia rebaudiana, Salvia sclarea e Tagetes minuta (Kumar & Sharma, 2012); Ipomea grandifolia (Orzari et al, 2013); Digitaria insularis (Mendonça et al, 2014); Murdannia nudiflora (Luz et al, 2014), entre outros.…”
