Effects of Seed Moisture Content Decreasing on Germination Traits of Silver Fir (Abies alba)

Year 2012, Volume: 12 Issue: 3, 36 - 39, 01.09.2012

Abstract

Fresh collected seeds from individual plants in Kelardasht (Mazandaran, Iran) with two moisture content levels (12, 20%) were putted under favorable germination condition (cold stratification for three weeks). Then germination traits GR, GS, GE, MDG, PV, GV, and MGT were studied. The results present that moisture content decreasing has significant effects on above mentioned traits. So that all traits showed negative correlation by MC% decreasing, except MGT, i.e. GR reduced 48% (67 to19%), GS 6.7 (7.8 to 1.1), GE 7% (11 to 4%), MDG 2.22 (2.8 to .58), PV 2.82 (3.4 to .58), GV 9.22 (9.52 to .3) and MGT 7.7 (9.11 to 18.7) respectively in two moisture content levels (20, 12%). These observations could be related to seed storage behavior
