Abstract The morphological characteristics of the seeds of Vicia dasycarpa Ten. cv. Tolse FCA were studied in relation to the area of imbibition water entry and were considered the presence of areoles. Seeds were analyzed using a stereo, optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The determination of the initial water entry area was carried out by immersing the seeds in a solution of tetrazolium (1%). This study showed that this species has seeds with a halo framing the hilum, an inconspicuous dry aril and a deltoid micropyle. The seedcoat pattern is papillose. The tracheid bar is surrounded More >
