Seeds were collected from 55-year-old plants in March 2012 in Chengdu Wenjiang Park in China and sown on illumination incubator at 25 ℃/18℃ (day/might) under 15 h light after soaked 24 h with 0, 50, 100 and 200 mg L-1 IAA, NAA solutions. The thousand seed weight ofJ. mimosifolia was 9.039 g and seed average vigor was 32.7%. Germination rate was 13.3% without treatment, and seeds with 50, 100 and 200 mg L-1 IAA treatment showed germination rate of 20.0%, 22.3% and 25.0%, respectively, whereas the rate was 18.3%, 20.0% and 23.3% in 50, 100 and 200 mg L-1 NAA treatment. There was significant difference between 100, 200 mg L-1 and other IAA treatment, but only 200 mg L-1 NAA treatment had significant difference among others. It showed that IAA could promote seed germination more significantly than NAA in the same concentration conditions. These results indicate that soaking by 100 and 200 mg L-1 IAA or 200 mg L-1 NAA for 24 h, seed germination rate ofJ. mimosifolia can be significantly improved and robust seedlings obtained from germinated seeds.展开更多
