摘要
Accelerated ageing is an accurate test indicator of seed vigor and storability that helps to understand the mechanisms of cellular and biochemical deterioration that occur during seed ageing. This study was carried out to elucidate the mechanisms of ageing in macaw palm embryos. Seeds were artificially aged during 4, 8 and 12 days at 45 degrees C and 100% relative humidity. After ageing, seeds were tested for viability (tetrazolium), electrical conductivity, lipid peroxidation (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content. Part of the aged seeds was imbibed for 8 days and then determined the hydrogen peroxide content and the activity of antioxidant system enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione reductase). Ageing reduced the embryo viability from 8 days of treatment and increased malondialdehyde content (MDA) and solute leakage. Hence, membrane permeability correlated with both loss of viability and lipid peroxidation. Imbibition after ageing significantly increased H2O2 content along with superoxide dismutase activity. Catalase activity was significantly higher than control in embryos aged from 8 days and imbibed, and glutathione reductase activity did not change. Our results suggest that macaw palm seed deterioration during accelerated ageing is closely related to lipid peroxidation, and that enzymatic antioxidant system is not completely efficient in reducing reactive oxygen species after imbibition, a critical phase to germination. Moreover, accelerated ageing test can be used as a reliable model to understand the mechanisms involved in palm seeds deterioration.
