Viability and vigor of jamun (Syzygium cumini) seeds

Abstract: -(Viability and vigor of jamun (Syzygium cumini) seeds). Jamun (Syzygium cumini L. Skeels) (Black plum, Damson plum) fruits weigh between 2-5 g at maturity. Fresh seeds represented 20-80% of the total fruit weight; the seed coat and cotyledons contributed 6% and 94% to the total seed weight respectively, while the weight of the embryonic axis was insignifi cant. Only the embryonic axis stained with Tetrazolium, not the cotyledons. The seeds are polyembryonic with up to four embryos, of which at most three germ… Show more

“…The emergence of more than one seedling from a single seed due to polyembryony has already been reported in jamun [38]. However, this is the first report where a significant effect of the propagation substrate was found on emergence of multiple seedlings from a single seed (table II).…”

“…The skin of the fruit is glossy and smooth with purple or white pulp, discolored bark, rough and cracked on the lower part of the trunk (Bijauliya et al, 2017). Fresh seeds contain 20-80% of the total fruit weight with 6% seed coat and 94% cotyledons (Sivasubramaniam and Selvarani, 2012). Depending on the fruit size there are two varieties of Syzygium cumini; small and big, the smaller variety is round and has sweet flesh with low content of acids, tannins and anthocyanins.…”

“…Such embryos are often asexual. The seeds may be polyembryonic but all the embryos do not germinate (Sivasubramaniam and Selvarani, 2012). Rate of polyembryony was also observed to be varying from seed to seed, fruit to fruit, sector to sector and from year to year in the same plant (Soares Filho et al, 1995).…”
