Effect of Low Temperature Treatment on Seed Emergence of Lycium dasystemum Pojark
[Objective] The effects of low temperature and high temperature on Lycium dasystemum Pojark.seeds were studied to provide data support for factory seedling cultivation.[Method] The seeds were treated at 5℃ for 0-20 days,and the germination rate was measured at 10-40℃.[Result]The germination rate of seeds treated at low temperature ①was 65.0% in T3 environment,77.8% higher than that of seeds treated at normal temperature.The seeds under low temperature ③treatment had the fastest start-up speed in T4 environment,which took 4 days,0.8 days faster than normal temperature seeds,and the highest germination index was 5.1,73% higher than normal temperature seeds.The germination potential of seeds treated at low temperature ④ was up to 24% in T4 environment,33.3% higher than that at normal temperature.Low temperature treatment ③,④ seeds can break seed dormancy at low temperature T1. [Conclusion] After low temperature treatment,seed dormancy could be broken and germination rate,start-up rate,germination potential and germination index of Xinjiang Lycium barbarum seeds could be significantly improved.
