Abstract

<em>Tylosemafassoglense</em> (Fabaceae) is a tuber producing vine, endemic to sub-Saharan Africa, where it's used as food, fodder and medicine. However, its domestication may be hampered by limited information on its seed dormancy and germination ecology. This study evaluated seed-coat dormancy on three seed lots, collected from Busia, Migori and Siaya counties in Kenya, and the role of light on germination. Seed-coat dormancy was studied by water imbibition and germination percentage at 25℃ on scarified and non-scarified seeds from each seed lot.
