Physiological status of selected seeds under the influence of Terminalia arjuna gum
Keywords:
Gum, Terminalia Seed, GerminationAbstract
The present study was impact of different time period of Terminalia arjuna plant gum concentration on incidence of seed germination of cereals, pulses and oil seeds. The Terminalia arjuna commonly known as arjuna, belongs to the family of Combretaceae. Its bark decoction is being used in the Indian subcontinent for anginal pain, hypertension, congestive heart failure, and dyslipidemia, based on the observations of ancient physicians for centuries. Gum is naturally occurring chemical compounds in the plant. Gums are natural exudates part of stems or from the wounds of the plants. Physical, chemical and Biological Antimicrobial properties of gum change as per the eco-climatic condition of the plant. There is different name of plants based on their locality. Gum is a substance which exudates naturally from the stem or from the wounds of trees. Gums are colloidal in nature soluble in water but completely insoluble in alcohol and ether. Impact of different time period of select plant gum concentration on incidence of seed germination of cereals, pulses and oil seeds like wheat, jowar, cowpea, gram, safflower and soybean. Percent germination or percent inhibition of germination, root and shoot length of seedlings was measured after 7 days of incubation at room temperature. were studied and results shows the impact of Terminalia arjuna gum was found to enhance the germination of wheat, jowar, cowpea, and soybean at 10 hour treatment.
