[Objective] The stress tolerance of Amygdalus pedunculata seeds during germination were investigated, and the differences in seed traits and germination characteristics among different provenances were analyzed, in order to provide theoretical guidance for selecting superior A.pedunculata provenances and their rational introduction and ecological restoration in arid and saline-alkali areas. [Methods] Seeds from four provenances of A. pedunculata were used as experimental materials: Xiaojihan Township(XJH), Yuyang District, Yulin City; Jinjie Town(JJZ), Shenmu City, Yulin City; Jinshan Town(JSZ), Guyang County, Baotou City; and Saihantala Town(SHT), Sonid Right Banner, Xilin Gol League. Polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) and NaCl were used to simulate drought stress and salt stress, respectively. Changes during the germination period were investigated. Principal component analysis (PCA) and the membership function method were employed for a comprehensive evaluation of seed stress tolerance. [Results] There were significant differences in drought tolerance and salt tolerance among the four A. pedunculata provenances, respectively ranked as SHT>XJH>JJZ>JSZ and XJH>JJZ>SHT>JSZ. The comprehensive evaluation index of drought tolerance was 90.12 for SHT provenance, while the index for salt tolerance was 89.51 for XJH provenance. [Conclusion] The SHT provenance is more drought-resistant and the JJZ provenance is more salt-resistant, revealing that seed stress tolerance varies among different A. pedunculata provenances.
