Abstract:

In order to explore the changes of physiological characteristics and genetic materials of naked oats during storage, the germination rate, germination potential, malondialdehyde(MDA)content, peroxidase dismutase(SOD)activity, catalase(CAT)activity, peroxidase(POD)activity and polyphenol oxidase(PPO)activity of naked oats seeds with different storage years were measured. The number of cells with genetic material distortion was counted by microscopic examination.The results showed that the germination rate and germination potential of naked oats seeds decreased with the extension of storage years.After storage for 8 years,Bayou 1 decreased by 86.42 and 96.92 percentage points;the content of MDA in naked oats seeds increased with the extension of storage years,and the maximum increase of Jinyan 8 was 5.68 times;the activities of SOD,CAT,POD and PPO of naked oats seeds decreased with the extension of storage years.After 8 years of storage,Bayou 1 decreased the most,which were 84.66%,74.38%,54.09% and 81.44% respectively;the number of cells with genetic material distortion in naked oats increased with the extension of storage years,and the average increase of the three varieties for 8 years was 11.87 times.The germination rate was significantly correlated with MDA content,SOD activity,CAT activity,POD activity,PPO activity and the number of aberrant cells(P<0.01),and the number of aberrant cells was significantly correlated with MDA content,SOD activity,CAT activity,POD activity and PPO activity(P<0.01).Bayou 1 had the best storage resistance,Jinyan 17 was the second,and Jinyan 8 was the worst.The germination rate and germination potential of naked oats decreased with the extension of storage years,the activities of SOD,CAT,POD and PPO decreased with the extension of storage years,and the content of MDA and the number of distorted cells increased with the extension of storage years;SOD,CAT and POD activities are essential enzymes for seed survival,but not the key enzymes for seed germination.
