El Nour M. | Kalislo M.
The effect of pulp and orientation of seeds, at sowing, on germination and juvenile development of Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Del. (Heglig) was studies. Removal of the sugary mesocarp enhanced germination and subsequent juvenile development (shoot height and number of leaves per plant). The epicarp prevents and the mesocarp delays the germination of whole fruits and seeds with pulp-on respectively. Vertical sowing of seeds, with hilum oriented upwards or downwards, reduces and delays germination and affects shoot height and number of leaves per seedling.
