Abstract
In order to evaluate the effects of climate on germination of Camellia sinensis var.assamica seeds,the seeds from five localities in Puer were air dried and their germination rate at room temperature were analyzed.The results showed that initial seed germination rates and germination rates of dehydrated seeds from different localities were different.Among five seed sampling localities,the seeds from Zhenyuan County(ZY) had highest germination rate.The initial germination rate of ZY seeds was 44% and the maximum was 56%.The seeds from Menglian County(ML) had lowest germination rate,initial germination rate was 25% and the minimum was 19%.The linear-regression analysis showed that the difference was related with altitude and temperature of seed sampling localities.Among five seed sampling localities,ZY with lowest mean annual temperature and highest altitude had highest germination rate.Inversely,ML with highest temperature and lowest altitude had lowest germination rate.In conclusion,different climate can lead to difference in germination rate of Camellia sinensis var.assamica seed: higher altitude or lower temperature led to higher seed germination rate.
