Changes of Seed Structure,Yield and Quality of Melilotus dentatus During the Ripening Process

To explore the major factors influencing seed germination ability and determine the best harvest time for the seeds of Melilotus dentatus,the changes of its seed structure,yield and quality were observed and determined in different mature stages in this experiment.The results indicated that the thickness of palisade cell layer and osteosclerid cell layer,hard seed percentage,yield,1000-grain weight and viability of Melilotus dentatus seeds increased as seeds mature in the field,and their maximum values were found in full ripe stage,and the hard seed percentage was positively correlated with the thickness of palisade cell layer and osteosclerid cell layer of seed coat.The germination energy and germination percentage of Melilotus dentatus seeds increased at the beginning and then decreased as seeds mature,and their maximum values were found in the 5 th day after early yellow ripe stage.After scratch treatment,the germination energy and the germination percentage of Melilotus dentatus seeds in different mature stages increased greatly,among which the germination energy and the germination percentage of seeds collected in full ripe stage increased from 7.50%and 8.00%to 96.00%and 96.75%,respectively.In conclusion,the hardness of seed coat was the main factor influencing seed germination of Melilotus dentatus,and the degree of seed coat hardness may be caused by the thickness of palisade cell layer and osteosclerid cell layer.Full ripe stage was the optimal harvest time for seeds of Melilotus dentatus in alar city of Xinjiang,and the hard-seededness must be broken down when used as seed material.
