Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of seed quality on the using value of Akebia trifoliata. Methods The seed net weight and plumpness were determined by electric balance, the moisture content was determined by moisture meter and the germination rate were determined through germination test. Results The seed net weight degree, 100-grain weight, 1 000 -grain weight, moisture content, viability, germination rate, and germination potential of A. trifotiata fresh seed were 98.7%, 6.64 g, 66.6 g, 43.1%, 94.5%, 82.6%, and 52.8%, respectively. Being made air-dried for 10 d or 60 d, the moisture content of A. trifoliata seeds were 28.5% and 7.8%, respectively, the germination rate were 64.3% and 14.7% respectively. Conclusion It is suitable to put the A. trifoliata seeds into the 30 ℃ clear water for 24 h and make them sprout or be buried in the wet sand at a room temperature of 5-12 ℃. When the moisture content of seed is lower than 8%, it will lose the value to be cultivated.
