1 RESUMO
O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a germinação e o vigor de sementes de crambe, sob condições de estresse hídrico induzidas por soluções de polietileno glicol. As sementes foram colocadas para germinar em substrato embebido com soluções de polietileno glicol, utilizando-se os potenciais osmóticos de 0 (controle), -0,2; -0,4; -0.6; -0.8; -1,0; -1,2 e -1,4MPa. Avaliou-se a germinação das sementes pela porcentagem de plântulas normais e porcentagem de emissão de raiz primária, e o vigor pelo tempo médio de germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação, freqüência relativa de germinação e índice de sincronização da germinação. Observou-se que potenciais osmóticos mais negativos promoveram redução significativa na germinação e no vigor das sementes de crambe, não havendo formação de plântulas normais em potenciais inferiores a -0,6 MPa.
UNITERMOS: Polietileno glicol, potencial osmótico, água, biodiesel.

CRAMBE SEEDS GERMINATION AND VIGOR UNDER WATER STRESS
2 ABSTRACT
This study aimed to evaluate crambe seeds germination and vigor under water stress conditions induced by polyethylene glycol solutions. The seeds were germinated on substrate moistened with polyethylene glycol solutions, using the osmotic potentials of 0 (control), -0.2, -0.4, -0.6, -0.8, -1.0, -1.2 and -1.4 MPa. The seeds germination was evaluated by normal seedlings and root emission percentages. Vigor was evaluated by germination average time, relative frequency, velocity and synchronization index. It was observed that more negative osmotic potential caused significant reduction in crambe seed germination and vigor, and no normal seedlings was observed at potentials below -0.6 MPa.
KEYWORDS: Polyethylene glycol, osmotic potential, water, biodiesel.
