Abstract

Endogenous GA, ABA and ethylene could be detected in cucumber seed. Cucumber sebd lot No. 06 presented high endogenous GAs especially the derivative GA1, GA3, GA9, GA12, and GA15, and seed lots No. 04 obtained high level of GAs, ABA, ACC and ethylene, while seed lot No. 07 contained low GAs, high ABA and ethylene. The exogenous GA3 could overcome the dormancy problem of cucumber seed with the rate of success depending on the initial quality of seed.
