Abstract

In this study, seeds of caper (Capparis spinosa) separated from feces of Turpan wonder gecko (Teratoscincus roborowskii) were used as the treatment groups, and seeds separated from fresh fruit were used as the control groups. The treatment and control groups were both precooled at 4 ℃ for 60 days and then transferred to germination experiment in a constant temperature of 25 ℃ incubator for 30 days. The effects of passage through Turpan wonder gecko digestive tracts on caper seed’s water uptake ability and germination were determined. The results showed that seed through the digestive tract of Turpan wonder gecko had significant impacts (P<0.05) on water uptake ability and germination, the digestive function promoted the seed’s fast water uptake ability and improved seed germination percentage, but did not affect (P>0.05) germination rate and viability of caper seed.
