Zhang Shi, Chen Run

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The paper dealt with the effect of ultra dry (UD) storage on seed viability and seed vigor of cabbage mustard (Brassica alboglabra ).Germination percentage, vigor index, aging test, conductivity, UV absorption value, SOD and CAT activity were measured during every three months of storage. After one year of storage the results showed that viability and vigor of the seeds decreased quickly when stored openly. The viability and vigor of the seeds increased when their moisture content declined. Cabbage mustard seeds with 2.84% moisture content had the best storing result.
