Extended abstract
Introduction: Since the maximum percentage and rate of germination of rapeseed occur at a certain temperature, finding these temperatures can play an important role in determining the appropriate time and place for the cultivation of different cultivars. Also, light can affect the germination percentage of rapeseed at different temperatures, but the response of rapeseed to light, especially at lower and higher temperatures, has not been studied. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the changes in the germination of rapeseed cultivars at different temperatures and determine cardinal germination temperatures based on germination percentage and rate under both the presence and absence of light conditions.
Materials and methods: In this study, germination tests were carried out at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 37, and 40°C temperatures in two light conditions (12 h light / 12 h dark) and darkness on nine spring cultivars (Traper, Agamax, Hayola-50, Hayola-420, RGS, Mahtab, Hayola-61, Zafar, and Zarfam) and one winter cultivar (Garo). The four-parameter Hill model was used to describe germination changes over time and the dent model was used to calculate cardinal temperatures. Seed viability at lower and higher temperatures was evaluated by the tetrazolium test.
Results: The evaluation of the trend of cumulative germination percentage over time in different cultivars showed that maximum germination percentage of all cultivars happened in the temperature range between 15-30 °C, some in the temperature range of 10-30 °C (Hyola-61) and others even in the temperature range of 5-30 °C (RGS, Mahtab, Garo, Zafar, and Zarfam) had the highest germination percentage. The highest germination rate in all cultivars was observed at the temperature range of 22-35 °C. Light only had an effect on the germination percentage of the seeds at sub and super optimal temperatures. At these temperatures, light increased the germination percentage. The remaining seed of 5, 10, 35, 37, and 40 °C temperature after transfer to 20 °C did not germinate, whereas most of them were viable based on the tetrazolium test.
Conclusion: The difference in the optimum temperature range for germination percentage and rate showed that to optimize seed performance, the optimal temperature range between the germination percentage and germination rate should be considered as the optimum temperature for germination. At sub and supra optimal temperatures, light leads to improved germination in some cultivars. The effect of light on germination at supra optimal temperatures was far higher than that of sub-optimal ones. Survival of the remaining seeds at the sub and supra optimal temperatures in some cultivars provided evidence of thermo-dormancy in these cultivars, this issue needs further investigation in the future.
Highlights:
1- The cardinal temperatures were studied based on both the percentage and rate of germination and the effect of light on them.
2- Some new varieties such as Traper and Agamax that little information about their characteristics is available were examined.
3- In this study, the reason for the lack of germination of rapeseed at the sub and supra optimal temperatures especially in the darkness has been mentioned.
