Abstract
We used simulated microgravity to treat aged pea seeds, in order to observe its effect on seed vigour and related physiological properties. The result shows that microgravity obviously promotes the germination rate, vitality index, germination index, and keeps the activity of protective enzyme, with conductivity and the content of MDA decreased. These effects gradually disappeared for a certain period after the microgravity administration.
