Abstract:Tetracentron sinensis is a valuable tree which is rare. Its seeds have not dormancy. Its reaction to light is different at temperatures, at 25℃ no lightdemanding, at 24—33℃ (most at 28—30℃) light-favored and at 10—20℃ light can promote germination. Optimum germination temperature is 25℃; Seeds which had been cold stratification could germinate in 1.4—8.2℃. KNO3 could partly relieve temperature demand in seeds germination, GA had this action in just a little.
