Abstract:

In order to understand the drought resistance of Pinus sylvestris var.mongolica seeds germination and seedling growth,the seeds of P.sylvestris from Zhangwu County,Weichang County,Duolun County,Youyu County,Datong County were collected as study materials,and polyethylene glycol (PEG6000) solution was used to simulate different drought stress treatments.The effects of drought stress on seed germination and seedling growth in these regions were studied and the results showed that the seed germination and seedling growth of P.sylvestris from different introduction regions responded differently to drought stress.The seeds of P.sylvestris from Youyu County adapted to germinate under drought level with a water potential gradient of -0.177 Mpa;seeds from Zhangwu County,Duolun County and Weichang County could germinate under drought level with a water potential gradient of -0.735 Mpa.Except the seeds of P.sylvestris from Datong County,the stronger the drought stress,the slower the germination in other introduction regions.Seedlings of P.sylvestris from Weichang County did not grow well under drought stress.Except Weichang County,the radicle length of seedlings in other introduction regions increased under drought stress compared with CK treatment,and the low drought stress could promote,but high drought stress could inhibit the diameter of seedling embryo axis with the increase of drought stress.According to the analysis,the drought resistance of P.sylvestris seeds in the germination stage from strong to weak was as follows: Datong County>Zhangwu County>Duolun County>Youyu County>Weichang County.Within a certain range,the seeds of P.sylvestris adapted to local environmental conditions,with the drought resistance of the seeds of P.Sylvestris becoming stronger as the region changing to dryer.

Key words: Pinus sylvestris var.Mongolica, seed germination, seedling growth, drought resistance, Three Northern region
