Glucose content, viability and vigor four cucumber seed lots.

This study assessed the viability, vigor, and soluble glucose content of four cucumber seed lots. The results revealed significant variations among seed lots, with Vanesa 2, Vanesa 3, and Vanesa 4 exhibiting higher vigor index, germination speed, and germination percentage compared to Venus 1. While a strong positive correlation was observed between glucose content and vigor, it was not statistically significant, indicating the potential involvement of other physiological factors. These findings suggested that glucose may serve as a biochemical indicator of seed quality.
