Effects of Seed Extract of Paris polyphylla on Germination Characteristics of Three Kinds of Seeds
In order to explore the effects of seed extract of Paris polyphylla on germination character-istics of different types of seeds,seed germination experiments of wheat,mung bean and Chinese cabbage were conducted with methanol and water extract of dormant seeds of P.polyphylla.The results showed that methanol and water extract could significantly inhibit the germination rate of different types of seeds.At the 0.08 g/mL methanol extract concentration,the germination rate of three kinds of seeds was 0.At the 0.08 g/mL water extract concentration,the germination rate of mung bean was 58.89%,and that of wheat was 7.78%.Therefore,the presence of endogenous inhibi-tors in the seeds of P.polyphylla and high ABA content,could be the endogenous factors for seed dormancy of P.polyphylla.
