Abstract:

The purpose is to study the anti-aging ability of common beans under the condition of ultra-dry treatment. ‘Jiangjun’, ‘Ziguan’ and ‘Renaya’ were used as experimental materials, seeds with different moisture contents were prepared by silica gel dehydration and different degrees of ultra-dry seeds of artificial aging, the aging after the seed germination rate, germination index, seed vigor and physiological indexes were assessed for further discussion of appropriate moisture content of common beans. The results revealed that when the moisture content of ‘Jiangjun’ seeds decreased to 5.78%-6.95%, the seed indexes remained high after aging. When the moisture content of ‘Ziguan’ seeds was at 5.35%-6.89%, all the indexes after aging were higher than those of untreated seeds, and the differences were significant. After aging, the germination index and thermostable protein content of ‘Renaya’ seeds were higher than those of untreated seeds when the moisture content was 5.01%-6.15%. The study demonstrates that common beans could be stored in ultra-dry state.
