Abstract: Effects of drought-stress and electric field treatment on germination and seedling growth of Caragana korshinskii were investigated. The results showed that the electric field treatment could either promote or inhibit the seed germination and seedling growth. Compared with the controlled group, the soluble protein content, soluble sugar content, proline content and chlorophyll content of the seedlings cultivated from G. korshinskii seeds which have been treated with electric field and drought stress changed significantly. It suggested that the electric field treatment could strengthen the germination of G. korshinskii seed and seedling growth of drought stress tolerance, and alleviated the senescence of plants.

Key words: electric field, Caragana korshinskii, seedling
