This study was conducted to determine the effects of seed storage temperature and pre-treatment on seed ger-mination, seedling quality and vigor index of wild Trichosanthes kirilowii and Trichosanthes kirilowii var. japonica. As a resultthe highest germination rate of T. kirilowii was the 95% at seed stored in room temperature and then soaking for 24 hours indH₂O. And the highest germination rate of T. kirilowii var. japonica was 96% at seed stored in 2℃ and then soaking for 24hours in GA₃(100ppm). But the seed germination rate was non-significance in pre-treatment at seed stored in roomtemperature 2℃ .Seedlings of T. kirilowii and T. kirilowii var. japonica showed not only the best seedling quality but alsoseedling vigor index in seed stored at 2℃ and then soaking for 24 hours in GA₃(100ppm). In this research, T. kirilowii and T.kirilowii var. japonica seed were stored in room temperature or 2℃, and then sown in peat moss, seed germination rate wasmore than 90% and production of superior quality seedlings.
