Abstract:Abstracts:The investigation studied the effect of two allelochemicals,ferulic acid and theophylline, on Cornus officinalis seed germination.The results showed that the germination rate,germination energy and germination index of C. officinalis seed on different concentrations of theophylline treatment were decreased.The seed germination rate was 62.22% with 0.05 mM ferulic acid treatment, and the data was 17% higher than control.With 05 mM ferulic acid treatment, the seed germination energy and germination index rate was highest,the seed germination energy was 42%,and the data was 27% higher than control,the index was 1.2 times higher than control.
