Abstract

In this paper,studies were made of seed characteristics and germination conditions of Malus toringoides collected from Luhuo County in western Sichuan. The results showed that Malus toringoides seeds were small grains, and had a conical or kidney-like shape. The size of seeds was (4.330 ±0.23) mm×(1.980 ±0.18) mm, the ratio of length to width was (2.180 ±0.12), and the thousand-grain weight of full seeds was 6.83 g, while the viability of seed was low (75%). In addition, cold stratification or gibberellins (GA) could break dormancy and improve germination within certain limits. Different duration time of cold stratification and concentration of GA had different effects on seed germination. The cold stratification for 15d or soaking seed with GA concentration of 300 mg per litre was at best and their germination rate was 94.53% and 82.59%, respectively.
