Effect of Different Temperature and Illumination on Seed Germination Characteristics of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi
To find out the relationship between Scutellaria seed germination characteristics and temperature and light condition,the paper used the Scutellariae seeds as materials,using six kinds of temperature to foster the seeds of Scutellariae in light and dark conditions,to get appropriate Scutellariae seed germination conditions,to guide the production of traditional Chinese medicine Scutellariae.The results showed that temperature had a significant effect on seed germination of Scutellaria baicalensis,Scutellaria seed in dark conditions optimum temperature was 25 ℃,the germination rate was up to 94.5%.In lighting condition,20 ℃ was the optimum germination temperature,the germination rate was up to 96.5%.Statistical analysis was based on two factors which had repeated trials,the germination rate of Scutellaria baicalensis was not sensitive to light.
