Abstract: To research the effect of uniforming pattern and density on seed germination and seedling traits of wheat,‘Xinchun 31’was used as material. Two sowing ways were set up, which were uniforming and drilling pattern, the density of 25, 36, 49 and 64 plants/box were set (D1, D2, D3 and D4), indicators of the wheat radicle and seedling traits were studied. The results showed that compared with the drilling pattern, wheat seedling radicle number, branch number, root surface area and volume of uniforming pattern increased, seedling stem diameter and seedling height increased by 6.15% and 1.02%, respectively, and with the increase of planting density, seedling stem diameter and seedling height increased and then decreased. The radicle rapid elongation time under uniforming pattern was 1.16 days shorter than that of drilling pattern, the theoretical maximum length of radicle decreased by 2.95%, while root maximum elongation rate increased by 8.96%. Radicle length had significantly or extremely and significantly positive correlation with radicle weight and stem and leaf weight, and significantly negative correlation with the grain residue weight; radicle average diameter had significantly negative correlation with radicle weight, stem and leaf weight and seedling weight; radicle weight had significantly positive correlation with stem leaf weight and seedling weight. Among them, the planting pattern and density had significant effects on root dry weight of 23 days, had little effect on the other indexes of other times. The conversion rate and consumption rate of dry matter in grain in germination stage first increased and then decreased, the conversion rate reached the highest on the 15th day, and that of uniforming pattern was 0.26% higher than that of drilling pattern with non-significant difference. The consumption rate reached the highest on the 11th day, and that of uniforming method was 10.61% higher than that of drilling method with significant difference. Planting density had little effect on the conversion rate and the consumption rate.
