Correlation Between the Fruit Position on the Plant and Seeds Quality Indices of Green Peppers (Capsicum annuum L.)

During the 2013-2014 period in the frame of the experimental field of RDIVFG VIDRA, three green pepper varieties, created at the Plant Breeding Department of the Institute, were investigated under comparative plots for evaluation. Several observations and morphological determinations were carried out aiming the following indices: the germinative faculty (GF) and the germinative energy (GE). Depending on the formation order of the fruits on the plant, there were significant differences between the values of the main physiological indices of the seeds' quality, both for the germinative faculty of the seeds and for their germinative energy. Between the position of the fruit on the plant and the quality of the seeds it is a strong negative corelation, distinct significant, the value of the relation coefficient (r) being over the values for P 5% and P 1%.
