The differences of growth and root absorption of three apple rootstock seedlings was compared and the absorption of hydrogen ions and endogenous hormone levels under the replant stress was discussed in this study. Experimental results showed that the dry matter ofM. sieversiiseedlings was significantly decreased under replant stress and the root-shoot ratio was increased. Root biomass of three rootstocks increased observably and the total root length was extended by 1.45 times, 2.22 times, 1.71 times, respectively compared to control. Root activity of three rootstocks all decreased, which one ofM. hupehensisfell less than another two rootstocks. The flux direction of H+had no change forM.HupehensisandM.Hupehensis, which ofM.prunifoliachanged into outward from inward. The endogenous hormone level of three rootstocks in replant stress was affected. ABA content is higher than that of controls, IAA and ZR contents were lower than controls, GA inM. HupehensisandM. prunifoliawas higher than that of controls besidesM. Sieversii. The root amount of three rootstocks increased significantly. The dry matter accumulation, absorption of H+and endogenous hormone levels was affected and the sequence decreasingly wasM.Hupehensis,M. prunifoliaandM.Sieversiiaccording to the degree of tolerance to replant stress.

Seed development of tea was studied to identify the maturity index and the optimal time of seed collection. After harvest, the moisture content (28–30%fresh weight basis) of mature seeds, which germinated 100%, declined progressively (19% moisture content) after shedding, with a decrease in seed germination and viability. However, this viability loss could be prevented to some extent by storing seeds within intact fruits. The maximum rate of seed dry matter accumulation coincided with the accumulation of starch in the embryos and seeds at stage 8, the embryo maturation phase. Although the embryo abscisic acid (ABA) content was highest at stage 8, free ABA declined in the tea embryos throughout the remainder of the seed maturation cycle.

ABSTRACT Water availability and substrate type are essential factors in seed germination tests, influencing imbibition and seedling development. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of two substrates and different water volumes on the germination and vigor of chia seeds. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2 x 6 factorial scheme, which consisted of two substrates, paper towel (Germitest®) and blotting paper, soaked with six water volumes equivalent to 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 times their dry weight, in four replicates of 50 seeds each. Germination percentage, mean time of germination, shoot length, radicle length, shoot dry matter, radicle dry matter, total dry matter (seedling), and root/shoot ratio were evaluated. Based on our results, germination tests for seeds of chia should be conducted using blotting paper (on paper) as substrate, with a water volume of 2.5 to 4.0 times its dry weight. Chia seedlings grown on blotting paper showed greater growth and dry matter accumulation compared to those grown on paper towel.

Refined nutrient delivery systems are important for environmentally friendly production of cut flowers in both soil and hydroponic culture. They have to be closely orientated at the actual nutrient demand. To solve current problems, express analysis and nutrient uptake models have been developed in horticulture. However, the necessity of relatively laborious analysis or estimation of model input parameters have prevented their commercial use up to now. For this reason, we studied relationships between easily determinable parameters of plant biomass structure as shoot height, plant density and dry matter production as well as amount of nitrogen removal of hydroponically grown year-round cut chrysanthemums. In four experiments (planting dates 5.11.91; 25.3.92; 4.1.93; 1.7.93) with cultivar `Puma white' and a fixed plant density of 64 m2, shoots were harvested every 14 days from planting until flowering, with dry matter, internal N concentration and shoot height being measured. For each planting date, N uptake (y) was closely (r2 = 0.94; 0.93; 0.84; 0.93, respectively) related to shoot height (x) at the time of cutting and could be characterized by the equation y = a * × b. In the soilless cultivation system, dry matter concentrations of N remained constant over the whole growing period, indicating non-limiting nitrogen supply. In agreement with constant internal N concentrations, N uptake was linearly related (r2 = 0.94 to 0.99) to dry matter accumulation. It is concluded that shoot height is a useful parameter to include in a simple model of N uptake. However, in consideration of fluctuating greenhouse climate conditions needs more sophisticated approaches including processes such as water uptake and photosynthetically active radiation.
