Primary Report on Effect of Related Factor on Germination of Wild Apricot Seed

The effects of some related factors on dormancy and germination of wild apricot seed were studied.Those factors includs stratification at low temperature,machine shelling,endocarp peeling and GA3 treatment.The results showed that the rate of germination increased gradually as the stratification time extends;the seeds began germination after stratification 40 days and the rate of germination reached at 90% after 100 days.The endocarp and seed-coat inhibit the germination to some extent,both removing the endocarp and seed coat could break the dormancy and increase the rate of germination.The fitting concentration of GA3 for number 6 with endocarp and without endocarp was 100 mg/L compare with number 7(300 mg/L) and the percentage of germination was 86.7%,100% and 70%.GA3 with different concerntrition could promote seed germination.
