Abstract

|
|
The effects of ginseng saponin on the germination and early growth of rice seeds (Dryza sativa L.., were investigated. The early growth (length) of test rice seeds which were rinsed for 60 hrs in 101% saponin solution prior to transplantation to water agar bed was about 20% faster than that of control seeds. It was also found that the amylase activity of the seeds was most active when the seeds were rinsed in 10-4To saponin solution for 48 hrs. In vitro investigation showed that the amylase activities were stimulated about 30% by the treatment of 10´% saponin solution compared with control group. From the above results, it seems that the ginseng saponin might activate amylase of rice seed during germination, resulting in rapid growth of rice.
