“…This is probably related to the increase in the content of total soluble sugars in the final stages of development, which acts to stabilize the membrane of organelles, increasing the tolerance to desiccation and improving the performance of the embryo during germination and emergence (Marcos Filho 2005, Perez-Camacho et al 2008. Similarly, Ramos et al (2021b) also reported that a maximum physiological potential of P. angulata is acquired when seeds show a high vigor and germination, what coincides with the maximum accumulation of dry For the conditions analyzed in this study, the growing season influenced the maturity of the 'green' and 'purple' P. ixocarpa seeds. In order to obtain higher quality seeds, the cultivation of these varieties can be carried out from May to August in the conditions of the Brazilian semi-arid, and the collection of fruits to obtain seeds can be carried out from the fourth maturity stage (green calyx with dry parts, completely expanded and broken, with fruit completely filling the calyx).…”

Physalis ixocarpa is an edible fruit with great economic importance in many countries. The use of high-quality seeds is essential for the success of the crop, so their harvest should be carried out at their maximum point of physiological maturity. This study aimed to verify the influence of the growing season and fruit maturation stage on the seed physiological maturity of two P. ixocarpa varieties (‘green’ and ‘purple’) grown in the Brazilian semi-arid region. The water content, dry weight, germination percentage and seedling emergence were evaluated. The growing season influenced the seed maturation process of the two evaluated varieties, with a more pronounced effect for the ‘purple’ one. To obtain higher-quality seeds, the cultivation in the Brazilian semi-arid region can be carried out from May to August and the collection of fruits to obtain seeds from the stage 4 of maturation.

“…It has been determined that this residue contains bioactive compounds (e. g., flavonols and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives). Therefore, it has been already employed in the popular medicine due to its antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, diuretic, antipyretic, antimicrobial and anticancer properties [5][6][7][8][9][10]. However, an integral approach to valorize this residue implies the analysis of other alternatives for obtaining added-value products from its processing and transformation.…”

“…Another important aspect to consider is the ideal time for harvesting the fruits, since many species with continuous flowering, such as Capsicum spp., show uneven fruit ripening between individuals or within the plant, which makes it difficult to harvest all the ripe fruits at the same time (Gonçalves et al 2018). Therefore, considering the evaluation of germination rates at different stages of fruit physiological maturity could help identify the optimal time for harvest, ensuring maximum seed viability and germination potential (Ramos et al 2021; Barroso et al 2022).…”

In the Andes, many native forest species are not used in reforestation or restoration programs mainly due to a lack of information about their propagation. In this study, we evaluated the performance of the seeds of Escallonia resinosa by analyzing fruit and seed productivity and characteristics, seed physiological quality, and the germination rate of seeds collected at different stages of fruit physiological maturity, using tetrazolium and standard germination tests. Our results show an estimated production (mean AE SD) of 34,252.5 AE 25,900 fruits per tree and 26.5 AE 20 million seeds per tree. Seed length was 1.0 AE 0.13 mm and seed weight was 12.4 AE 1 μg. We recognized two different morphological types of seeds: Type I seeds (lacking testa) were unviable, whereas all Type II seeds (with testa) germinated. Seed viability and germination rates were 10.5 and 48.6%, respectively; therefore, the viability test underestimated the actual germination rate. Morphological or microsite variables of the parent tree did not influence seed viability or germination. Germination rates were highest (41.8 AE 2.5%) for the seeds of fruits harvested at the initial maturity stage (green fruits). Our results show that E. resinosa is a species with potential for reforestation and restoration projects in the Andes: it has high seed production and good germination performance, and seeds can be harvested from fruits collected at different stages of physiological maturity.
