Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of low germination rate in Lychnis fulgens seeds, influence on germinative force and germination rate in seed of Lychnis fulgens between stored and new seeds, different planting substrate and different concentrations of gibberellic acid (GA3) pretreatment were compared. The result showed one year of stored seeds were better than when new seeds on seed indicators, then the seed may have a newborn sleep characteristics. Using 150 mg/L of GA3 pretreated the stored seeds for 24 h sown in petri dishes can get the highest germinative force of 76.33% and the highest germination rate of 85.33%. Germinated seeds were treated by different concentration of colchicine (0.05%, 0.10%, 0.20%) and different treating time (12h, 24h, 36h, 48h) to induce polyploidy. And morphologic, stoma and cytologic comparison between treated plants and CK were studied. The survival rate was generally low after colchicine treatment. Variative plants were obtained under each colchicine concentration and concentration of 0.10% was the optimal induction concentration with the higher mutagenic rate and lower death rate. Varieties plants showed differences on morphologic, stoma and cytological analysis to control plants. One polyploidy was obtained after identification. This study opened up a new way for breeding new cultivar of Lychnis fulgens.
