This research sought to establish the response of the germination percentage (PG), synchrony index (E), mean germination time (MGT) and mean germination rate (MGR) of Annona squamosa L. seeds from Apulo (province of Cundinamarca) and Castilla (province of Tolima), Colombia, to treatments with 0, 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, or 800 mg L-1 of gibberellic acid (GA). All of the treatments with GA increased the PG at each point of time of seed incubation. The 600 mg L-1 GA treatment resulted in higher PGs (92.3% at 16 days for Apulo and 95% at 24 days for Castilla) and lower MGTs (8.75 and 5.38 days for Apulo and Castilla, respectively) than those found with the concentration of 0 mg L-1 GA (17.68 and 10.88 days for Apulo and Castilla, respectively). Also, treating the seeds with 600 mg L-1 GA generated higher MGRs (0.18 and 0.12 germinated seeds/day for Castilla and Apulo, respectively) than those obtained with 0 mg L-1 GA (Castilla = 0.09 and Apulo = 0.06 germinated seeds/ day). Likewise, the germination was synchronized with the application of any concentration of GA. The results evidenced a positive response to the GA application, which provided a tool for the characterization of the phenomenon of dormancy in the A. squamosa seeds.
En esta investigación se buscó establecer la respuesta del porcentaje de germinación (PG), índice de sincronía (E), el tiempo medio de germinación (TMG) y la velocidad media de germinación (MGR) de semillas de anón Annona squamosa L. provenientes de Apulo (departamento de Cundinamarca) y Castilla (departamento de Tolima), Colombia, a tratamientos con 0, 50, 100 200, 400, 600 o 800 mg L-1 de ácido giberélico (GA). Todos los tratamientos con GA incrementaron los PG en cada punto del tiempo de incubación de las semillas. El tratamiento 600 mg L-1 GA generó mayores PG (92,3%, a los 16 días para Apulo y 95% a los 24 días para Castilla), menores TMG (8,75 y 5,38 días para Apulo y Castilla, respectivamente) que los hallados con la concentración de 0 mg L-1 GA (17,68 días para Apulo y 10,88 días para Castilla) y mayores VMG (0,18 y 0,12 semillas germinadas/día para Apulo y Castilla, respectivamente) que las obtenidas con 0 mg L-1 GA (Castilla= 0,09 y Apulo = 0,06 semillas germinadas/día). Así mismo, se observó una germinación más sincronizada con la aplicación de cualquier concentración de GA. Los resultados encontrados, evidencian la respuesta positiva a la aplicación de GA, lo cual brinda una herramienta en la caracterización del fenómeno de latencia en semillas de A. squamosa.
