Variability in seed and seedling traits of Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge was evaluated at the population level. Seed samples were collected from four provenances in China and examined for variations in morphometric traits, chemical components, and seedling growth in the nursery stage. There were significant differences in the seed length, width, dry weight, 1000-seed weight, oil concentration, Mg and Cu concentrations, root biomass, and root–stem biomass ratio. The largest seed in terms of size and weight was from Ongniud Banner, Inner Mongolia (OB), but these seeds also had the lowest seed oil concentration. At the end of the first growing season in the nursery, seedlings stopped growing one month earlier in height than in diameter. The provenance difference in height was significant at the first 2 months after sowing but disappeared later. Genotypic variance (Vg) was found to be higher than corresponding environmental (Ve) variance for seed length, seed width, seed dry weight, 1000-seed weight, diameter, and root biomass, indicating that these parameters were strongly inherited and there was ample scope for improvement. Moreover, correlations between seed and seedling traits and climatic and geographical factors were assessed. Some significant intercharacter correlations were found, such as between seed length, width and seed weight, between oil concentration and seed size, and between seedling height, diameter, and root biomass. Combining the seed- and seedling-related parameters, our results indicated that Mulei, Xinjiang (ML) may be used as an ideal material for a further improvement program.

“…Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing fuel security have drawn attention to the use of oil-rich seed plants as raw materials for biodiesel production. Yellowhorn (Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge), belonging to the Sapindaceae family, is a high-quality feedstock for biodiesel production, with oil concentration of 55-66% in seed kernel (Lee et al 2015;Shao and Chu 2008). This species is widely distributed in northern China and adapts well to drought, low temperature, high salinity and alkali soils.…”

Yellowhorn ( Bunge) has been widely planted for biodiesel production in China, but has frequently shown poor field performance. Container-grown yellowhorn seedlings originating from three Chinese provenances, Wengniute Qi (WQ), Alukeerqin Qi (AQ), and Shanxian (SX), were fertilized with slow-release fertilizer (SRF) at 40, 80, 120, 160 or 200 mg N seedling. Tree growth, survival and nutrient content were measured after one yearâs growth in a greenhouse followed by two years in a field site. Plants from AQ and SX tended to have higher stem and root P contents in the nursery. Higher rates of SRF increased root N, and stem and root P contents. After one year in the nursery, there were a number of interactions between provenance and SRF for plant growth responses and nutrient content in the nursery, however after two years of additional growth in the field, plants from the different provenances generally responded similarly to applied SRF in the nursery, with few interactions. Final plant height was approximately 10% lower in trees from provenance SX but was not affected by application of SRF. Conversely, final trunk diameter and stem and root biomass were unaffected by provenance but increased with higher rates of applied SRF. Our results indicate that application of SRF may be a useful tool to nutrient load yellowhorn in the nursery and facilitate transplanting performance in the field. Overall, optimal nursery and field performance of yellowhorn were observed in provenance AQ at 120â200 mg N seedling SRF. We suggest that growers consider a wider range of yellowhorn provenances and SRF rates (above 200 mg N seedling) to yield even better growth response.Xanthoceras sorbifoliumâ1â1â1
