Аннотация
The research focused on clarifying the phenomenon of seed dormancy and the analyzing the relationships between seed dormancy and germination in two species of Dioscorea L., specifically D. deltoidea and D. villosa. The experiment employed various regimes of stratification: a constant 15°C and 22°C; 10°C → 22°C; 2°C → 22°C. Monitoring of embryo growth indicated that post-development in both species occurred prior to the start of germination. Heterogeneity of seeds with respect to type and depth of dormancy was revealed, with D. villosa exhibiting pronounced heterogeneity; nearly 40% of the seeds displayed morphological dormancy, while the remainder had morpho-physiological dormancy. The majority of D. deltoidea seeds exhibited morphological dormancy, with a minor proportion (4–5%) demonstrating morpho-physiological dormancy. The reliance of germination on higher temperatures in D. deltoidea led to a predominance of cotyledon growth within the seed during germination, whereas the reliance on lower temperatures in D. villosa resulted in the preeminence of root growth, subsequently facilitating earlier development of the root system.
