The Effect of Temperature and Seed Soaking on Germination in Cynanchum wilfordii (Maxim.) Hemsl.

Abstract: : This study is part of research to develop the technology for managing major medicinal crops after harvest. We studied the optimal germination conditions of Cynanchum wilfordii (Maxim.) Hemsl. The mean germination time (MGT) of C. wilfordii seeds was higher after soaking for 4 days after storage at 5℃ for 8 weeks, than with germination at 25 ℃ (3 days). However, the germinative energy (GE) decreased as the number of days soaking increased. The greatest germination rate (83.3 ± 8.8%) was at 25℃ with no soaking… Show more

“…Our results were consistent with the findings of Thompson [21]. Meanwhile, seed germination was closely related to environmental conditions, such as genetic differences, seed maturity, temperature, moisture, oxygen, and sunlight [22]. The temperature has been reported to have the greatest effect on germination rate [23,24].…”

“…(family Asclepiadaceae) is a perennial vine, and its tubers, also called “Baeksuo,” are grown for 2–3 years for subsequent use as herbs in oriental medicine. 1 A previous human clinical study has been demonstrated that C. wilfordii intake helps in maintaining healthy blood cholesterol levels. 2 Moreover, several in vitro and rodent in vivo studies have reported that C. wilfordii assists in bone disease prevention, protects hepatocytes, and prevents progression of aging.…”
