| dc.description.sponsorship | The influence of after-ripening period and seed sarcotesta emergence and vigour were evaluated at the Crop Production Laboratory of Federal University of Technology, Minna. Fruits of a pawpaw landrace (FUTM-Coe) harvested after colour- breaking stage divided randomly into three lots. Seeds from fruits of one lots were extracted immediately after harvest while seeds were extracted from the other two lots after fruits had after-ripened for two and four days respectively at room temperature (30℃). Seeds from each of the three lots described above were then divided into two. The sarcotesta of seeds of one lot was removed while seeds of the other lots were left intact. Dried seeds were packaged in polythene envelope and stored at 30℃. Freshly harvested papaya seeds exhibited dormancy which was indicated by low seedling emergence, shorter seedling height, lower leaf number and poorer seedling fresh and dry weight. Following storage, the scores for all these traits increased for some time followed by a decline at some points depending on treatments. A delay of two days before extracting seeds from opened fruits resulted in significantly higher scores of all the traits studied. The presence of sarcotesta also resulted in poorer seedling emergence | en_US |
