Abstract
This paper deals with the super absorbent polymer which is used as seed coating and its effect on the germination and growth of corn seed in artificial drought conditions.The germination rate, stem length and the weight of leaf and stem of the treated corn seeds increased obviously in comparison with those of the seedling from untreated seeds.The MDA(malonaldehyde) in all treated seedlings decreased,the chlorophyll content and the activities of the disease resistance-related enzymes PPO(polyphenol oxidase) increased.Results showed that the super absorbent polymer seed coating played an important role in improving the growth and inducing the activity of disease resistance-related enzymes in seedlings for its keeping-water ability, and it would be beneficial to the disease control and the increase of corn yield.Besides,the results showed that the best ratio was 1∶60.
