Ethymethan sulfonate (EMS) is a kind of chemical mutagen,which widely use in many aspects.It has important applications in plant mutant library construction,germplasm creation,functional gene analysis and so on.Seed germination is a series of orderly physiological and morphogenesis processes from seeds water swelling to hypocotyl extension,The review briefly described the mutation principle and advantages of EMS,and the basic conditions for seed germination.Besides,the paper reviewed the progress on the aspects of the effects of EMS on different plant seeds germination,the possibility of EMS mutagenesis stimulated genes inhibiting plant seed germination or changed its germination genes.And finally presented some future prospects on the effects of EMS on seed germination.
