Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plant seed treatment, in particular to a method for improving the activity of southern cypress seeds and promoting their germination. Background Art

[0002] The southern Chinese yew is a perennial evergreen tree of the genus Elaeagnus, a tree species endemic to China. It is mainly distributed in southeastern Yunnan, Guizhou, northwestern and eastern Guangxi, northern Guangdong, southern Hunan, southwestern Jiangxi, and southwestern Zhejiang. The southern Chinese yew has an elegant and beautiful tree shape and can be used as a garden greening tree species. The bark of the southern Chinese yew has medicinal effects of clearing rashes, reducing swelling, and setting bones. The southern Chinese yew has high economic value, but due to the low renewal rate of the southern Chinese yew population, it has become an endangered species and has been included in the "Red Data of Chinese Plants" and the "Atlas of Rare and Endangered Plants in Guangdong Province". Population renewal is related to the number of highly active seeds in the seed bank, seed germination rate, and low seedling renewal rate. By observing the seed rain in the natural forest of Jiangnan Oilseed Fir in Yachang Forest Farm, Baise City, Guangxi from 2018 to 2021, the high-vitality seeds in 2018-2021 were 40.53%, 50.33%, 49.66%, and 48.31%, respectively. Moreover, these highly vigorous seeds will gradually lose their seed vitality with the passage of storage time. Before the arrival of seed rain in the second year, the vitality of all seeds will drop to 0. Jiangnan Oilseed Fir seeds have problems such as few highly active seeds and rapid decline in seed activity, resulting in short storage time. Improving seed activity and delaying the decline in seed activity will promote the germination of Jiangnan Oilseed Fir seeds, thereby increasing the population size of Jiangnan Oilseed Fir and improving the current low renewal of Jiangnan Oilseed Fir population.

Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for improving the activity of southern Chinese cypress seeds and promoting their germination, so as to overcome the problems of rapid decline in the activity of southern Chinese cypress seeds and small number of highly active seeds, promote the germination of southern Chinese cypress seeds and thus increase the population of southern Chinese cypress.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for improving the activity of Lutetia chinensis seeds and promoting their germination, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0006] (1) Seed activity detection: The correlation between the content of soluble sugar, lipid and protein in the seeds of Ludwigia truncatum and the seed activity was explored, and a linear regression formula between the content of soluble sugar, lipid and protein and the seed activity was established. The content of soluble sugar, lipid and protein was substituted into the linear regression formula to obtain the seed activity of Ludwigia truncatum. When the number of Ludwigia truncatum seeds with low activity in the sample accounted for ≥60% of the total number of samples, all seeds were treated to improve the seed activity, wherein:

[0007] The linear regression formula of the content of soluble sugar, lipid, protein and seed activity is: seed activity = 16.945 + 0.912 * soluble sugar + 1.390 * lipid + 1.334 * protein, the model R square value is 0.925, and the model R square value indicates that soluble sugar, lipid, protein can explain 92.5% of the change in seed activity.

[0008] The low-activity seeds of the southern Chinese cypress refer to seeds of the southern Chinese cypress whose activity is less than 60 obtained by substituting the contents of soluble sugar, lipid and protein obtained by testing into the linear regression formula;

[0009] (2) Seed activity treatment: treating the low-activity southern cypress seeds with high-voltage direct current electrostatic treatment, and then performing a wet balance treatment with a steam liquid, hydration with a hydration treatment liquid, and convection drying treatment for multiple cycles, wherein the steam liquid composition includes humic acid, chitin, and sodium silicate, and the hydration treatment liquid is anhydrous acetone dissolved with cysteine, potassium iodide, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, and cross-linked sodium polyacrylate;

[0010] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the concentration range of the steam liquid in step (2) is 50-65 ml humic acid, 8-14 g chitosan, and 17-21 g sodium silicate.

[0011] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the 0-5 cm withered materials under the southern Chinese fir forest are mechanically broken, soaked and decomposed with cellulose hydrolase and pectin hydrolase, and then filtered to obtain the product; wherein,

[0012] The withered substance: cellulose hydrolase: pectin hydrolase = 76-83:10-14:7-10.

[0013] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the hydration treatment liquid components in step (2) include one or more of anhydrous acetone, cysteine, potassium iodide, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, and cross-linked sodium polyacrylate.

[0014] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the method for obtaining the hydration treatment solution in step (2) is to use 150-220 ml of anhydrous acetone to dissolve 20-30 ml of cysteine, 18-23 ml of potassium iodide, 6-11 ml of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-8 ml of oxalic acid, 12-16 ml of malic acid, and 50-64 ml of cross-linked sodium polyacrylate.

[0015] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the high-voltage direct current electrostatic treatment in step (2) is to place the low-activity seeds in an electrostatic field with a corona circle diameter of 0.4-0.7 mm to generate a high-voltage direct current of 150-320 KV / m for 6-12 minutes.

[0016] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the wet balance treatment method in step (2) is to treat the low-activity seeds after high-voltage direct current electrostatic treatment with steam liquid at a temperature of 18-24° C. for 24-48 hours.

[0017] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the hydration treatment method in step (2) is to treat the low-activity seeds after wet balance treatment with a hydration treatment solution at a temperature of 38-45° C. for 30-50 minutes.

[0018] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the convection drying method in step (2) is to use hot air flow to quickly dry the low-activity seeds after hydration treatment to a moisture content of 13.09-15.4g in a convection manner.

[0019] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the number of cycles of the wet balance treatment-hydration-convection drying treatment in step (2) is 2-4 times.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] (1) The method of the present invention improves the seed activity of the seeds of the southern Chinese yew tree in a targeted manner by sampling and testing the seed activity of the seeds of the southern Chinese yew tree, and then causes changes in the internal structure and metabolic process of the low-activity southern Chinese yew tree seeds through high-voltage direct current electrostatic treatment, wet balance treatment-hydration-convection drying treatment, changes in the integrity and metabolic process of the membrane, and partially repairs the integrity and damage of the membrane, thereby improving the activity of the seeds of the southern Chinese yew tree.

[0022] (2) The humic acid in the steam liquid used for wet balance treatment is obtained from the decomposed litter of the Chinese fir forest. The litter of the Chinese fir forest contains microorganisms that stimulate the activity of Chinese fir seeds and substances produced by microbial decomposition. The components of the hydration treatment liquid have the function of controlling the free radical chain reaction of seeds and can prolong the life of seeds in a non-hydrated state. The hot air flow dries the seeds by convection and contacts the seeds by convection, so that part of the free water in the seeds is converted into bound water, thereby improving the stress resistance of the Chinese fir seeds.

[0023] (3) After the dead wood is mechanically broken up, the cellulose hydrolase and the gelatin hydrolase accelerate the decomposition of the dead wood and make the dead wood decompose more thoroughly, resulting in less humic acid bacteria and more nutrients. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific implementation modes.

[0025] To explore the relationship between the content of soluble sugar, lipid and protein in seeds and seed activity:

[0026] Since the germination speed of seeds is a way to reflect the activity of seeds, 200 seeds of Chinese fir were selected for germination test. The seeds with fast germination speed were selected, and the soluble sugar content in the seeds was determined by the anthrone method, the protein content in the seeds was determined by the Coomassie Brilliant Blue method, and the lipid content was obtained by Soxhlet extraction.

[0028]

[0029] Dependent variable: Seed viability

[0030] *p<0.05 **p<0.01

[0031] As shown in Table 1, the correlation formula between the content of soluble sugar, lipid and protein and the activity of seeds of Chinese fir is: seed activity = 16.945 + 0.912 * soluble sugar + 1.390 * lipid + 1.334 * protein. The model R square value is 0.925, which means that soluble sugar, lipid and protein can explain 92.5% of the variation of seed activity.
