Method for improving germination potential of melon seeds and method and kit for obtaining germinated melon seeds

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of plant breeding, and in particular relates to a method for improving the germination potential of melon seeds, a method and a kit for obtaining the germination potential of melon seeds. The method comprises: (1) soaking dried melon seeds in warm water to obtain soaked melon seeds; (2) placing soaked melon seeds in a container and adding wood vinegar diluted 1000 times to obtain wood vinegar treatment After the melon seeds; the bottom of the container is placed with 3 to 5 mm thick first water-absorbing material at intervals, the first water-absorbing material forms a gap with the bottom of the container, and the second water-absorbing material is tiled on the first water-absorbing material, and the soaked melon The seeds are placed on the surface of the second water-absorbing material; the added amount of the wood vinegar solution does not exceed the upper surface of the second water-absorbing material; (3) the melon seeds treated with the wood vinegar solution are cultivated until they germinate. The provided method can break the dormancy of melon seeds, improve the germination potential of the seeds, and is of great value in commercial seedling cultivation.

Description

Method for improving the germination potential of melon seeds and methods and tests for obtaining germinating melon seeds kit technical field The invention belongs to technical field of plant breeding, be specifically related to a kind of method that improves melon seed germination potential and obtains Method and kit for germinating melon seeds. Background technique Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a fruit rich in nutrients, good in color, fragrance and taste, and is deeply loved by people. plays an important role in fruit. Seed germination rate and germination potential are important parameters to measure seed quality. Seed germination rate In the seed method, there are clear requirements for the seed germination rate; the seed germination potential determines the seed germination rate. uniformity of seedlings. With the specialization of melon seedlings, commercial seedling factories have higher and higher requirements for the quality of melon seeds. Not the germi...

Problems solved by technology

However, after conventional warm water immersion, germination cannot break the dormancy characteristics of some melon seeds, nor can it improve the germination potential of melon seeds.

At present, in view of the dormant characteristics of melon seeds, the method of freezing for several months is generally adopted, which seriously affects the timely sowing of melon seeds; and the problem of low germination potential of melon seeds has not been effectively solved
