Abstract:In order to investigate the effect of storage mode on germination and seed quality,the germination characteristics,1000-grain weight,moisture content,relative conductivity and soluble sugar content of Seriphid-iu mtransiliense seeds stored at normal temperature (N),vacuum-normal temperature (NZ),cool temperature(C),vacuum-cool temperature(CZ),freezing temperature(F) and vacuum-freezing temperature(FZ) for six months were measured.Then,the optimum storage mode was selected by comprehensive evaluation of membership function.The results showed that the water content and 1000-grain weight of the seeds of S.transiliense stored in vacuum at low temperature were higher than those of the seeds stored in non-vacuum at room temperature,and that the water content of the seeds treated by CZ was significantly higher than that of the seeds treated by other methods by 26.90%~142.27%.Further,The experiments also showed that the 1000-grain weight of the seeds treated by FZ and CZ was 22.61%~26.42% higher than that of the seeds treated by NZ and N (P<0.05).The radicle length of the seeds treated by N and NZ was significantly higher than FZ,the embryo length and seedling dry weight of the seeds treated by FZ and CZ were significantly higher than those of the seeds treated by NZ and N,while the germination rate and emergence rate of the seeds treated by under low temperature and vacuum storage were higher than those of the seeds under normal temperature storage.The soluble sugar content of the seed in vacuum treatment was higher than that of the seed in non-vacuum treatment.Compared with that of the seed treated by N and C,the soluble sugar content of the seed treated by FZ and CZ increased by 34.27%~56.18%.Compared with that of the seed treated by N and NZ,the seed relative conductivity of of the seed treated by C,CZ,F and FZ decreased by 33.15%~43.56%.To sum up,the seed vigor of S.transiliense could be ranked as follows: FZ>CZ>NZ>F>C>N.The optimal storage mode of S.transiliense seed was vacuum-cool temperature and vacuum-freezing temperature.
