Despite being known to science for quite a long time, the phenomenon of seed dormancy still baffles the scientific community for the multiple complex underlying mechanisms. The current classification systems of seed dormancy attempt to condense all that is known about the phenomenon in an attempt to generate a conceptual database that would enable facilitated interpretation of upcoming information and allow for a better contextuation of research in this field. The present paper is a preliminary overview of the current panorama of concepts and classification systems of seed dormancy that intends to serve as a standpoint for future research in this field.

Dormancy caused by the tegument's impermeability to water is a feature of Schizolobium parahyba seeds. So that the best methodology for overcoming the species's dormancy may be determined, the seeds were submitted to mechanical scarification treatments, using sandpaper and scissors, on the opposite side of the hilum. Chemical scarification was also undertaken with sulfuric (H2SO4) and hydrochloric (HCl) acids for 30 minutes. Seeds were distributed in groups of 25 units in four petri plates. The experiment was undertaken in a BOD germination chamber at 25°C and 120 μmol.m-2.s-1. Data were used to calculate the germination capacity (G%), the Germination Velocity Index (IVG) and Mean Germination Time (TM). Imbibation curve was also calculated to analyze the dormancy type of the seeds by using the three-phase model where phase FI was completed in 6 hours and FIII was initiated after 12 hours of imbibation. Results show that whereas pre-germinative treatments trigger S. parahyba germination, mechanical scarification is the most effective method to overcome the species's dormancy.

Understanding basic information on weed biology contributes to the implementation of appropriate management and control strategies. Thus, this work was developed to evaluate the germination of Spermacoce latifolia Aubl. seeds, an important weed in reforestation areas. The seeds were subjected to dormancy break treatments, in which the mechanical scarification, chemical treatment (H2SO 4 and KNO 3), heat treatment, and control, were evaluated. Three more tests were done determinate the effects of temperature (10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35°C), light filters (absence of light and red, green, yellow, distant red, blue, orange and clear light) and water availability (0.0, -0.2, -0.4, -0.6, -0.8 and -1.0 MPa) on the seeds germination and vigor. The treatments were arranged in a completely randomized design with four replications, and the experimental plot was constituted by gerbox plastic boxes with 50 seeds. The mechanical scarification (sanding) provided the best dormancy break, indicating that Spermacoce latifolia seeds have tegument water impermeability. The seeds showed higher germination percentage under conditions of mild water stress (-0.2 MPa) and the optimal temperature was 25°C. The blue light reduced seed germination.

Forest species with hard seeds often pose considerable problems to nursery managers because their hard and impermeable seed coats hinder and delay germination. Therefore, this work aimed to determine the most efficient, practical and low cost methodology to overcome dormancy in Sesbania virgata (Cav.) Pers. Seed, a specie with potential for recovery of degraded areas. The seeds were submitted to chemical scarification by immersion in sulfuric acid during a period of 5, 10, 20 and 30 minutes, mechanical scarification and heat treatment. After the scarification the seeds were submitted to germ test in germination chambers at 25oC and photoperiod of 14 h. Treatment with mechanical scarification showed the highest germination percentage (98%), followed by chemical scarification for 30 minutes (57%). The heat treatment in spite of obtaining a higher germination percentage than the controls had abnormal development of seedlings and is not therefore recommended for seeds of S. virgata. From the parameters utilized in this study, we recommend the use of the mechanical scarification to overcome dormancy of S. virgata seeds.

O pequizeiro é uma frutífera nativa dos cerrados brasileiros com grande potencial econômico. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de substâncias potencialmente estimuladoras da germinação. As sementes foram extraídas dos caroços e colocadas para germinar em rolos de papel embebidos com as seguintes soluções: água destilada (Controle); 2mmol L-1 KNO3 (Nitrato); 2mmol L-1 Etephon (ET); 1mmol L-1 GA3 (GA); 1mmol L-1 GA3 + 2mmol L-1 Etephon (GA + ET). Os resultados de percentagem de germinação e o tempo médio para germinação foram, respectivamente, de 54,0% e 9,3 dias no tratamento GA; 47,3% e 11,0 dias no tratamento GA + ET; 32,0% e 12,2 dias no tratamento Controle; 30,7% e 13,1 dias no tratamento Etephon e 20,1% e 13,1 dias no tratamento Nitrato. No tratamento GA + ET houve queda da taxa de germinação até os nove dias da semeadura, com relação ao tratamento GA, o que indica uma possível inibição da germinação de sementes de pequizeiros pela presença de etileno.

As sementes de anonáceas são conhecidas por apresentarem mecanismos de dormência, o que dificulta a perpetuação das espécies e a formação de áreas produtivas para a exploração comercial. Deste modo, os objetivos deste trabalho foram estudar curva de aquisição de água; a germinação de sementes tratadas com GA3 e GA4+7 + Benziladenina; o balanço hormonal e a degradação de reservas em sementes de Annona diversifolia Saff e Annona purpurea Moc & Sessé ex Dunal tratadas com reguladores vegetais para a superação da dormência. Para tanto foram realizados três experimentos. Para a construção da curva de aquisição de água foram utilizadas 4 repetições de 25 sementes que foram mantidas em embebição e pesadas durante 480 horas. O segundo experimento foi constituído pela germinação das sementes tratadas com os reguladores vegetais; o delineamento experimental empregado foi o inteiramente casualizado com 4 repetições de 25 sementes por parcela em esquema fatorial 2 x 7 (reguladores x concentrações). Os tratamentos foram constituídos pelas combinações entre concentrações de GA3 e de GA4+7 + Benziladenina (GA4+7 + BA) x 0, 200, 400, 500, 600, 800 e 1000 mg L-1 i.a.. No terceiro experimento foram quantificados ABA (Ácido abscísico) e GA (Giberelinas), proteínas, açúcares...

The use of seeds of B. brizantha has increased, however, the physiological quality of seeds available to the producer is still a limiting factor for a good performance culture. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects caused by chemical scarification, different periods of aging and priming on physiological quality and overcoming seed dormancy B. brizantha cv. MG-5 Victory. The seeds were subjected to chemical scarification-H2SO4 ( presence and absence), artificial aging periods ( zero, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 and 168 hours) at 41 degrees C and priming using the 0,2 KNO3 % ( presence and absence) for two hours at 25 degrees C, creating a completely randomized design in factorial 2x8x2, with four repetitions. The seeds were evaluated by testing germination and vigor. Chemical scarification is an effective method for breaking dormancy, but decreases the physiological seed. Overcoming seed dormancy B. brizantha occurs with the use of artificial aging for non-scarified and scarified seeds. Priming generally has no effect on the physiological quality and overcoming seed dormancy B. brizantha, however, it provides less loss of cellular constituents.
