Abstract:
Abstract- Hydnocarpus alpina Wight is an evergreen medicinal tree species endemic to Western Ghats. Narrow endemism makes this species vulnerable to extinction. Fresh seeds on harvest showed 20% moisture content with 80% germination. The viability of the seeds determined on the basis of germinated seeds. Associated with germination, different biochemical parameters such as analysis of primary metabolites like total soluble sugars, starch, amino acids, total proteins, phenols, reserve mobilites such as amylase, protease etc., were recorded. The results emphasized that, sequential loss in moisture content leads to drastic change in biochemistry resulting in the loss of seed viability and the percentage of germination. So these parameters can be considered as the markers for detecting seed viability and behaviour. Reserve mobilites are high during the germination it is helpful for the purpose of restoration.
