Abstract

The contents of amino acids, protein, water-soluble sugar, reducing sugar and microelements in seven strains of seed-germination-promoting fungi were determined. It was found that the contents of primary products were different in these fungi. In the light of physiological characteristics of seed germination, the action mechanism of the products in promoting seed germination was discussed.
