ISPITIVANJE KLIJAVOSTI SEMENA Tribulus terrestris

Abstract

Tribulus terrestris uglavnom je invazivna korovska biljna vrsta koja je od ranije poznata u kineskoj i indijskoj tradicionalnoj medicini za lečenje seksualne disfunkcije, problema sa očima i nadutošću stomaka. Poreklom je pretežno iz južne Evrope, Azije, širom Afrike i Australije iz toplih umerenih i tropskih regiona. Uglavnom se razmnožava isključivo semenom, pri čemu je procenat klijavosti T. terrestris veoma nizak u prirodnim i laboratorijskim uslovima. Prikupljena semena T. terrestrisa iz samoniklih populacija su do ispitivanja čuvana na sobnoj temperaturi. Testiranje klijavosti semena obavljeno je tokom maja 2022. godine primenom tretmana potapanja u vodi u različitim vremenskim intervalima i metodom skarifikacije semena nakon kog je postavljeno u petri posude između filter papira. Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata utvrđeno je da je u svim tretmanima koji uključuju potapanje i skarifikaciju klijavost bila bolja nego u kontrolnom tretmanu, pri čemu je najbolja klijavost (76.3 %) postignuta tretmanom potapanja semena u trajanju od 12h.

Tribulus terrestris is mainly an invasive weedy plant species that has long been known in Chinese and Indian traditional medicine to treat sexual dysfunction, eye problems, and stomach bloating. It is native mainly from southern Europe, Asia, throughout Africa and Australia from warm temperate and tropical regions. It is mainly propagated exclusively by seed, with the percentage of germination of T. terrestris being very low in natural and laboratory conditions. Collected seeds of T. terrestris from wild populations were stored at room temperature until testing. Seed germination testing was carried out during May 2022 using the water immersion treatment at different time intervals and the seed scarification method, after which it was placed in a petri dish between filter papers. Based on the obtained results, it was determined that in all treatments that include immersion and scarification, germination was better than in the control treatment, where the best germination (76.3%) was achieved with the treatment of seed immersion for 12 hours.
