Abstract:

Relationship between water status, endogenous hormone and sprout rate of 2 years old China seabuchthorn under water deficit was analyzed. The main results are: water deficit made water content, free water, water potential and endogenous GA1/3 of seabuckthorn seedlings decreased, while endogenous ABA level increased obviously during dormancy stage in winter and sprout period in spring, so ratio of GA1/3/ABA droped and came to threshold value later. As a result, the germination day delayed, especially that of seedlings under serious water deficit was postponed even for 25 days. Besides, seedlings grew slowly after sprout. Seabuckthorn suffered slight injure from a long time of medium soil water stress and sprout date was also delayed a few days and growth after sprout was restrained to a small extent.

Key words: Soil drought, Endogenous hormone, Dormancy stage, Sprout period, Seabuckthorn
