- Abstract:
-
Seed germination and seedling growth of Eupatorium adenophorumii were measured under treatments of its litter aqueous extracts with the concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 0.30 gDW/ml under incubation. The results showed that the indexes of seed germination and seedling growth were significantly inhibited by the higher concentration of Eupatorium adenophorumii litter aqueous extract. When the concentration of aqueous extract was 0.05 g/ml, the indexes of seed germination and seedling growth was no significant difference with CK (p > 0.05). Seed germination rate, germination potential, germination index, radicle length, seedling fresh weight and dry weight were sharply reduced with the increase of the aqueous extract concentration (p < 0.05). At the same time, the seed germination time was delayed when the concentration of aqueous extract was higher than 0.05 g/ml, but the increase of seedling dry weight were not affected under the same concentration. The higher Eupatorium adenophorumii litter aqueous extract (0.30 g/ml) led to the seed deactivation. Correlation analysis showed that contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and membrane permeability were a significant linear positive correlation with aqueous extract concentration (p < 0.001), respectively. The content of chlorophyll, root activity (TTC), protective enzyme (POD, SOD, CAT) and the activity of protective enzyme (PPO, PAL) had the significant linear negative correlation with aqueous extract concentration (p < 0.001). Comprehensive analysis indicated that the aqueous extracts from the litter of Eupatorium adenophorumii had autotoxicity on its seed germination and seedling growth.
