Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study was conducted to determine the effective method for enhancing seed germination. Fruits enclosed with pericarps did not show any germination irrespective of seed maturity. After removing pericarps, mature seeds showed low and slow germination by 67% at 60 days after sowing. GA, chilling, KOH treatment, and scar of seed coat had no effect on enhancing germination of seeds, whereas mature embryos of naked seed germinated within 10 days after sowing. Soaking treatment at 5% NaOCl for 60 min hastened seed germination and enhanced germination percentage up to 95% at 60 days after sowing. Also, washing treatment with running water at 30℃ for 7 days showed more effective germination than other treatments.
