Effect of smoke water and distillation liquid on the seed germination and seedling growth of Trichosathes kirilowii / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Smoke water and distillation liquid were used to treat the seeds of Trichosathes kirilowii and to study the effects of smoke water and distillation liquid on the seed germination and seedling growth of T. kirilowii. The results showed that germination rate, germination index and germination vigor of T. kirilowii all were significantly improved with the treatment of SW and DL treatment. The activity of α-amylase were significantly increased with the treatment of SW and DL at 12,000. SW and DL treatment showed no significant effects on the activity of SOD. The activity of POD were markedly enhanced under the treatment of SW (1000) and DL (12,000). CAT activity were increased with the treatment of SW and DL at 12,000 while were inhibited by SW and DL at 1500. Seedling height and root length were increased with the treatment of SW and DL (11,000, 12,000). SW and DL treaments improved the content of chlorophyll, and moreover with the concentration of SW and DL, the stimulatory were also increased. This work demonstrated that smoke water and diatillation liquid at 12,000 could stimulate the seed germination and seedling growth of T. kirilowii, and it provided the references for the study of seed germination technology.
