Abstract: [Objective]In order to prove whether Allium galanthum L. has imbibitional chilling injury and whether PEG has osmotic [Method]conditioning on the seeds germination when imbibed at low temperature. [Result]The study tests the relative electric conductivity,germination rate,germination index and vigor index of Allium galanthum seeds germinated for 1 d,2 d,3 d,5 d and 7 d at 5℃ imbibitional experiment and treated with different PEG concentrations of 0;,10;,15;,20;,25; and 30; respectively. After analysis of variance the results show that Allium galanthum L. has imbibitional chilling when imbibed at 5℃. [Conclusion]The germination is inhibited when the treatment time is longer than 2 days. The germination can be improved significantly when treated with PEG at the same condition,and the suitable PEG concentration which control the seed germination increased with the extending of time of the low temperature treatment.
