Abstract:
【Objective】To devise the optimal method and the optimal water content for the storage of seeds of Aquilaria sinensis(Lour.) Gilg..【Methods】The seeds of Aquilaria sinensis(Lour.) Gilg.were stored in plastic bag,drying apparatus,wet sand and dry sand separately.And then the germination capacity of the seeds with different water content was detected at 4℃ and room temperature(30℃) in different time.【Results】The germination capacity of Aquilaria sinensis(Lour.) Gilg.decreased with the prolongation of storage time and with the decrease of water content.The seeds with water content being 9.34% and 7.35% had a higher germination capacity when stored at 4℃ for 35 days than that stored at room temperature.The fresh seeds stored in wet sand sprouted and the seeds stored in drying apparatus and dry sand had lower germination capacity and went mouldy.【Conclusion】Low temperature and moderate water content are benificial to the storage of the seeds of Aquilaria sinensis(Lour.) Gilg..
