Abstract:In order to explore the biological characteristics of C. conradinae seeds, the natural mature unfallen fruit from wild Cerasus conradinae trees in Chibi City, Hubei Province were used as materials, and the morphology length, width, thickness, weight of 1000 seeds, water absorption characteristics and germination characteristics were observed. The results showed that the seeds were ovoid, with average length of 7.64±0.73 mm, average width of 5.28±0.55 mm, average thickness of 4.39±0.47 mm, and the average weight of 1000 seeds was 62.77±2.91 g. The water absorption of seeds was fast in 0~4 h after soaking, and then gradually slowed down. It reached the critical saturation state after soaking seeds for 24 hours, with 33.23% water absorption. Water absorption of seeds in saturated state was 33.30%. The germination effect of seed soaking with 750 mg/L GA3 was better than that soaking with water, but the differences was not obvious, the germination rates were 65.3% and 62.7% respectively. The differences between seedlings was large.
