Effect of Temperature on Germination of Different Flax Varieties
Taking eleven flax varieties as materials ,the effect of temperature on germination energy and germi‐nation rate were studied to provide scientific basis for flax production .The results showed that germination en‐ergy and germination rate of eleven flax cultivars were different ,which presented a single peak curve with the increase of temperature .And germination energy and germination rate of 5℃ treatment was the lowest ,which reached significant difference with other treatments .Germination energy and germination rate were the highest when temperature was 20℃ or 25℃ .It was found that Heiya 18 was kept the higher germination energy and germination rate (85 .67% and 94% ) when temperature was lower than 10℃ .
