Progress on seedlings and seeds propagation research of Magnoliaceae plants
The research on asexual propagation and seeds propagation of Magnoliaceae plants was reviewed.Asexual propagation of seedlings is beneficial for plants to reproduce rapidly and massively,as well as maintain the excellent characteristics of the variety;techniques such as cutting,grafting,and tissue culture are often applied in the industrial seedlings cultivation and auxiliary research of Magnoliaceae plants.Seeds propagation has many advantages such as rich genetic diversity,economic applicability,and easy portability.In response to the possible occurrence of mold and rot in seeds of Magnoliaceae plants during storage and germination,methods such as soaking and soil disinfection can be adopted to avoid seed mold and rot;the seeds of this family have morphological and physiological dormancy characteristics,which can be broken by soaking them in gibberellins,strong oxidants,or low-temperature stratification to increase their germination rate.The research results provide references for the protection and industrial development of Magnoliaceae plant resources.
