dc.description.abstractIn Mexico, Annona purpurea Moc. & Sessé ex Dunal, chincuya is found in mountains and family gardens. It is used as food (fruits), traditional medicine (leaves, stems, roots, seeds, bark), wood in construction, papermaking, carpentry, rope making, and as fuel. There is not enough information on the seed, nor on germination management, which is scarce, prolonged and erratic. Considering that the morphophysiological dormancy is the probable cause, it was necessary, within a broader project, to start with the characterization of the seed and determine the effect of dry warm storage (DWS) on it. The perimeter and length of the embryos increased due to the increase in length of the cotyledons and the hypocotil root axis, while the middle hypocotyl area decreased, forming an acinturated embryo. These data indicate that the embryos of chincuya are underdeveloped since they grew and modified their shape, due to the effect of DWS, until the 6th month. This development of the embryo within the seed during dry warm storage confirms the presence of morphological dormancy. This is the first report of embryo growth and characterization of chincuya seeds.en
