Title: Effects of Different Priming Treatments on Germination of Wild Eggplant Rootstock Solanum Torvum Seeds
Abstract: Used different treatments to prime Solanum Torvum seeds to study the effect of different priming treatments on germination and statisted seeds germination percentage at 20th day.The results showed that:the priming treatment of 0.50% NaNO3 significantly enhanced germination index and germination rate of Solanum Torvum seeds,and the priming treatment of 0.50% MnCl2 also promoted germination index of Solanum Torvum seeds,but had no influence on germination rate.The priming treatment of 300 mg/kg gibberellins increased Solanum Torvum seeds germination significantly.If gibberellins concentration was too high or too low,it even could inhibit Solanum Torvum seeds germination.This study established a new germination method:hydration-pregerminating-dehydration,which increased germination index and germination rate of Solanum Torvum seeds pre-germinated 6 days,and the effect could keep 2 months in normal temperature and more than 3 months in low temperature.
