Effects of seed moisture content on Psathyrostachys juncea second generation seed vigor by spaceflight treatment
Psathyrostachys juncea second generation seed vigor was analyzed, which was treated by carrying into recoverable satellite in 2003. The results show that Space flight has great effect on seed germinate rate and germinate energy,seedling growth,weight seedling and so on. Seed changes varied with different cultivar. Seed moisture content has great effect on seeds carried into space. The effect of space flight on seed is weakened when the seed moisture content approaching 10%~ 12%, reversely the effect is strengthened.
