Relationship Between Storage Periods and Germination Ability of Dehisced Seeds of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer

This study were conducted to investigate the viability and germination of dehisced Panax ginseng seeds stored for long period in the storage chamber with humudity. The staining reaction times for viability test were 150 min, 90 in, 60 min at triphenyltetrazolim chloride(TTC), respectively. the more the storage period, the less the healthy seeds ratio. It was for 1-year storage, 7-years storage, 9-years storage, respectively. Germination ratio were for 1-year stroage, 6-years storage, 7-years storage and 9-years storage, respectively. Therefore it was confirmed that ginseng seed can be stored up to 6-7 years.   ࠀ 䀀
