Effects of osmopriming and storage temperature on the seed quality of Salvia przewalskii Maxim.

Salvia przewalskii Maxim. is an important Asian medicinal plant. The aim of the study was to investigate reaction seeds this species priming and storage temperature. germination, vigour health were determined for untreated osmoprimed diaspores, after harvest 12 months at 4 16°C. primed in polyethylene glycol (PEG) water solution with osmotic potential –0.8 –1.1 MPa. It has been found that osmopriming non-stored stored strongly reduced time germination. One-year both 16°C caused statistically significant increase total number germinating seeds, germination energy capacity. highest rate MPa PEG solution.
