This paper proposed an orthogonal design L27(313) with four factors(seeds shucked off pericarp, dipped in water, GA3 treatment, 6-BA treatment and stratification)and three levels based on the dormancy of Tilia amurensis seed. The optimal way for quikly breaking seed dormancy was obtained. That was: 1)shucking off the pericarp; 2)scalding seeds for 2s with 100°C boiling water, then soaking in room temperature water for 24h; 3)soaking in 100 mg•L-1 GA3 and 6-BA solution, respectively for 24h; 4)stratification in varying temperature (10-15°C)for 5d, then in low temperature(0-5°C)for 15d. The germination rate of T. amurensis seed could get to 70.2% by above treatment and germination time was shortened to 30 days which was greatly improved compared to previous study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
