Abstract:

The seed dormancy of phoebe is very long and the reproductive rate is low. In order to study the seed germination characteristics to relieve the dormancy state and improve the germination rate, the seed germination experiment was carried out with Phoebe hunanensis as the material. Research indicated that: The best storage method of Phoebe hunanensis seed was the treatment of wet sand storage; The germination broke about a striking effect when the seeds were soaked in warm water at 35°C for 24 hrs; Low concentration of gibberellin (GA3) solution and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) solution had little effect on seed germination of Phoebe hunanensis, but the high concentration of gibberellin and naphthalene acetic acid solution were inhibited; the seed of Phoebe hunanensis was germinated earlier and the germination rate was higher when they irradiated with UV-B light than ordinary light, and it was extreme low in dark condition.
