[ Method ] According to the color of mature seeds of Leymus chinensis, they were divided three color types, namely, pale yellow, yellow and black. Their seed germination and callus induction were observed. [ Result] The pale yellow Leymus chinensis seeds had higher germination rate (32.5%) and rate of callus induction (28.5%). Based on the results of the TI'C method and electrical conductivity, the seed viability was decreased with the deepening seed color. [ Conclusion] The study laid the foundation for establishing highly efficient plant regeneration system of Leymus chinensis.展开更多
