Summary: Marula (Sclerocarya birrea) is a species of the family Anacardiaceae, native to the savanna biome in South and East Africa. It is among the most valued native trees of southern Africa due to its medicinal and nutritional properties; however, the dormancy of its seeds makes the production of marula difficult. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of storage times on dormancy breaking and physiological quality of marula seeds. A completely randomized experimental design was used, with four 100-seed replications for evaluating seed biometry. Physiological quality and dormancy breaking were evaluated through treatments consisted of five storage periods: 10 (control), 184, 244, 306, 367, and 428 days after harvest, with four 25-seed replications per treatment. Storing marula seeds under room conditions for 367 days after harvest is recommended for a better physiological quality of the seeds.

Está entre as árvores nativas mais valorizadas da África Austral devido às suas propriedades medicinais e nutricionais; entretanto, a dormência de suas sementes dificulta a produção da marula. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito dos tempos de armazenamento na quebra de dormência e na qualidade fisiológica de sementes de marula. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições de 100 sementes para avaliação da biometria das sementes. A qualidade fisiológica e a quebra de dormência foram avaliadas por tratamentos constituídos por cinco períodos de armazenamento: 10 (controle), 184, 244, 306, 367 e 428 dias após a colheita, com quatro repetições de 25 sementes por tratamento. O armazenamento das sementes de marula em condições ambiente por 367 dias após a colheita é recomendado para uma melhor qualidade fisiológica das sementes.Sociedade de Ciências Agrárias de Portugal2023-11-14info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.19084/rca.31861eng2183-041X0871-018X, João Rafael Prudêncio dos SantosDavid, Andréia Marcia Santos de Souza, Victor Martins Maia, Bruno Soares da Silva, Mirna Ariane Taveira de Souza e Souza, Pedro Mendes Demicheliinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2025-01-09T10:23:45Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/31861Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T19:38:07.457067Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
