The present investigation was conducted to study the
influence of various seed morphometric traits viz., size,
shape, weight, thickness and its orientation of Prosopis
cineraria population collected from arid zone of
Rajasthan. A wide range of variability was observed
among the individuals within population for various seed
characters. The seeds were randomly selected and
grouped into eight classes (S1 to S8) based on size,
shape and thickness. The seed length varied from 7.9
mm (S1) to 4.26 mm (S4). Maximum seed breadth
recorded as 4.9 mm (S1) whereas, minimum was 3.33
mm (S7). Thickness of seeds ranged between 1.53 to
1.1 mm, while hundred seed weight varied between 0.64
(S1) to 0.40 g (S7). Eight classes of Prosopis cineraria
seeds were sown in the pots, among the seed classes,
S1 class of seeds exhibited maximum germination (70%)
followed by S2 and S3 where as S8 class seeds exhibited
minimum and poor germination percentage (10%)
followed by S7 and S4. Maximum shoot length, root length
and collar diameter were also recorded in S1 class
seeds. Therefore, seed size can be used as a parameter
for predicting germination and seedling growth rate both
in nursery and field conditions.
