Abstract: |
Taking seeds from red pitaya‘ Hongxianmi’ fruit( Hylocereus polyrhizus) as experiment materials,
the effects of 0.01 %~0.30%( W/V) colchicines with different exposure time on seed germination and seedling
growth were studied. The results showed that,compared with the control( treated by distilled water),the seed
germination rate,survival rate and seedling length were inhibited by soaking-seed with the increasing of colchicine
concentration and/or the extension of exposure time. The water-soaked-well seeds were more sensitive to colchicine,
e.g. the seedling lengths were significant suppressed by the two treatments of 0.01% colchicine for 24 hours or 0.05%
colchicine for 12 hours. Meanwhile,colchicine soaking-seed and water-soaked-well seeds would obtain 0.2%~4.2%
and 0.2%~15.8% morphological variation seedling,respectively. The most efficient induction combination of ploidy
variation was 0.20%,0.3% colchicine soaking-seed with 24~48 hours exposure or 0.20% colchicine water-soakedwell
seeds with 12~24 hours exposure. |
