Abstract: Taking Rhododendron cultivar "Rhododendron obtusum‘Yanzhimi’×Rhododendron hybridum‘Chunwubao’" as experimental materials, the effects of different methods of disinfection, initial culture of different kinds of media,different plant growth regulators, low temperature treatment and light conditions on seed germination and the growth were studied, and the effects of 8 kinds of 1/2 WPM medium supplemented with different concentrations of plant growth regulators on the rooting rate of hybrid sterile seedlings were also studied. The results showed that the optimum disinfection method for Rhododendron hybrid seeds was 1.5% NaClO solution for 10 min and 75% ethanol for 30 s. On the condition of 20 days low-temperature treatments at 4 ℃,and culturing Rhododendron hybrid seed with 100 mg/L GA3 in 1/2 WPM medium, the highest germination rate was got,and the value was 56.7%. Light irradiation promoted the germination of Rhododendron hybrid seed,the germination rate of seed under light treatment was higher than that of dark treatment,and the seed germination time was also 3~7 days earlier. On the condition of 1/2 WPM medium with 0.5 mg/L NAA and 0.1 mg/L IBA,Rhododendron hybrid sterile seedling had the highest rooting rate.

Key words: Rhododendron, low temperature, aseptic sowing, germination rate, rooting rate, cross-incompatibility
