Abstract

Yongyu No.3 (Jindan 88) and Zaoxiantiannuo were two varieties of Zea mays, which were widely planted in Yunnan. These two varieties were selected in this study in order to reveal the influence of Cd2+ on seed germination and seedling growth. The results showed, Cd2+ can hinder the seed germination and growth of maize when the concentration rate was below 2.0 mg / L, while increase the germination when concentration rate was lower than 2.0 mg / L; The concentration of Cd2+ negatively correlated with the length of bud and root; Jindan 88 had better ability to endurance the Cd2+ compared to Zaoxiantiannuo.
