Abstract

An experiment was performed to test the
sensitivity of seed production and climatic conditions effect on mother plant.
The seeds from different planting dates in field experiment were studied
randomly in 2013 during four replications at the laboratory of Agriculture
Faculty of Islamic Azad University, Khoy Branch. The results showed that the
effect of sowing date on shoot length and dry weight, root germination, mean
germination time, germination average, germination and mean germination were
significant. Based on the results of the experiment, seeds from the first to
third sowing dates had the best germination time and the average germination
time for the best seedlings due to the highest length and stem and rootstock
weight. In general, it became clear that the delay in planting the mother plant
decreases seed quality. MGT indices showed a significant negative correlation
with GR. Also, MDE increased the length and weight of the stem.
