Abstract

Seed germination represents the initial stage for the future establishment of the species, supporting seed technology. The objective of this work was to describe the morphology of fruits and seeds, evaluate technological aspects and the germination of Jacaranda copaia. The fruits were collected in the experimental field of the Federal Technological Institute of Para-IFPA, municipality of Altamira-PA. The methodology and terminology used were adjusted to the conventional techniques of plant morphology, which are illustrated by photographs. The temperature and substrate were also evaluated for seed germination. The fruit is dehiscent, simple, capsule type and dry, winged seeds, light, soft texture, transparent light brown tones, elliptical format. In the germination tests, it was verified that there were no statistically significant differences and germination of the epidermal type of fanerocotonium was registered.
