Title

Study on Germination Characteristics and Germination Rate Enhancement of Saposhnikovia divaricata Seeds

Meng Xiang Zhiwu yanjiu 2008

Other claims from this paper (13)

Observation Saposhnikovia divaricata seeds have low germination rate and vigor.
Observation Germination rate across 15 S. divaricata strains ranged from 28.0% to 92.0%.
Mechanism The authors attributed low germination to variation among individuals and species characteristics.
Mechanism Asynchronous relief of dormancy and seed aging prevented simultaneous peak germination.
Intervention effect The mixture of GA, 6-BA, KNO3 and H2O2 markedly increased dormant seed germination rate.
Intervention effect GA released dormancy in S. divaricata seeds.
Intervention effect 6-BA released dormancy in S. divaricata seeds.
Intervention effect KNO3 did not release seed dormancy.
Intervention effect H2O did not release seed dormancy.
Intervention effect Mn2+, Cu2+ and Mo trace elements increased S. divaricata seed germination rate.
Intervention effect Spraying the trace elements at the green fruit period increased subsequent seed germination.
Intervention effect Treating green fruits with GA increased S. divaricata seed germination.
Intervention effect Treating green fruits with NAA increased S. divaricata seed germination.
